Ian Clark

Ian Clark is an Adjunct Associate Professor at UniSA STEM (University of South Australia). His work focuses on groundwater resource management, sustainability, and geospatial analysis in arid and semi-arid regions. He employs GIS, remote sensing, and isotopic methods to address data-scarce hydrological challenges.

• Current research includes groundwater potential mapping in fractured rock using ensemble machine learning and geospatial techniques.
• Prior studies examined groundwater-dependent ecosystems and subsurface heterogeneity in the Flinders Ranges and Great Artesian Basin.
• His pedagogical work explores systems thinking in sustainability education, aiming to balance environmental, economic, and social perspectives.

Collaborations span institutions like Flinders University and CSIRO. Recent publications highlight applications of GIS, quantitative morphometric analysis, and remote sensing for water resource protection.
