Biography

Dr. Clark is a Professor of Hydrology in the Department of Civil Engineering, Schulich School of Engineering, University of Calgary. He is also a Canada Research Chair in Environmental Prediction and Co-Director for the United Nations University Hub at the University of Calgary. Dr. Clark is elected Fellow of the American Geophysical Union (in 2016) and is the previous Editor-In-Chief for Water Resources Research (2017-2020). Dr. Clark’s research focuses on advancing the science and practice of environmental prediction. His research group builds mechanistic terrestrial systems models that are used for a myriad of applications, including environmental forecasting (e.g., predicting floods and water quality threats), climate impact assessments (e.g., understanding climate vulnerabilities at multiple spatial scales), and Earth System prediction (e.g., improving the land component of Earth System models).
