A/Prof. Stuart Clark is a geophysicist with an interest in understand the evolution of sedimentary basins and imaging and building models of the Earth. Prior to joining UNSW in 2017, he was the Director of Research at Kalkulo AS in Norway (2014-2017) and the Head of Department of Computational Geoscience for the Norwegian Simula Research Laboratory (2011-2014). In these roles he worked on and managed projects delivering cutting edge software and research products to impact industry workflows and regional geological understanding.
