Dr. Clark's research involves groundwater geochemistry and environmental isotopes in hydro geological settings ranging from the Arctic to temperate and arid regions. Areas of research focus on groundwater contamination, groundwater resources, and climate studies. Current research programs include permafrost hydrogeology and paleoclimatology in the Arctic, groundwater contamination in agricultural regions, and methanogenesis in natural and contaminated waters.
