The Turkana Basin Institute (TBI), established in 2005 by paleontologist Richard Leakey and Stony Brook University, is a privately funded collaborative and multi-disciplinary enterprise that provides logistical support to scientists to advance human prehistory and related earth and natural science research in northern Kenya. TBI has three facilities in Kenya: two field centers near Lake Turkana in the Turkana Basin (TBI-Turkwel and TBI-Ileret) and administrative offices in Kenya’s capital city (TBI-Nairobi), as well as its international academic headquarters at Stony Brook University. The basin covers 209,157 km2, mostly in Kenya, and includes several smaller lakes in Ethiopia. Both field centers are fully equipped to house visitors and students year-round to analyze the needs of the sub-Saharan environment, field test solutions, and offer hands-on training for participants from around the world.
