Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Sustainability
  • World War II

William C. Clark mostly deals with Sustainability science, Sustainable development, Sustainability, Environmental resource management and Environmental ethics. William C. Clark works mostly in the field of Sustainability science, limiting it down to topics relating to Research program and, in certain cases, Developing country, Library science, Social change and Field, as a part of the same area of interest. William C. Clark combines subjects such as Natural resource, Engineering ethics, Ecology, Facilitator and Knowledge-based systems with his study of Sustainable development.

The Knowledge-based systems study combines topics in areas such as Public policy, Scholarship, Human development and Public relations. His Sustainability research incorporates elements of Livelihood, Wildlife conservation, Wildlife, Environmental planning and Natural resource management. The concepts of his Environmental resource management study are interwoven with issues in Environmental Sustainability Index, Social sustainability, Sustainability organizations and Ecosystem services.

His most cited work include:

  • Knowledge systems for sustainable development (2157 citations)
  • Environment and development. Sustainability science. (1547 citations)
  • Sustainability science: the emerging research program. (838 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His scientific interests lie mostly in Sustainable development, Sustainability, Sustainability science, Environmental resource management and Engineering ethics. His study looks at the relationship between Sustainable development and topics such as Natural resource management, which overlap with Boundary-work. His study in Sustainability is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Stewardship and Earth system science.

His work deals with themes such as Anthropocene and Earth science, which intersect with Earth system science. In his study, Action is strongly linked to Environmental ethics, which falls under the umbrella field of Sustainability science. His studies link Environmental planning with Environmental resource management.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Sustainable development (26.63%)
  • Sustainability (21.11%)
  • Sustainability science (20.60%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2020)?

  • Sustainable development (26.63%)
  • Sustainability science (20.60%)
  • Engineering ethics (10.05%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

William C. Clark spends much of his time researching Sustainable development, Sustainability science, Engineering ethics, Sustainability and Knowledge-based systems. His Sustainable development research incorporates themes from Social learning, Stakeholder and Complex adaptive system. His studies deal with areas such as Environmental ethics, Corporate governance, Field and Livelihood as well as Sustainability science.

His Sustainability study incorporates themes from Public economics, Coevolution and Human capital. His Knowledge-based systems study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Knowledge management. His Knowledge management research includes themes of Natural resource, Natural resource management and Boundary-work.

Between 2014 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Boundary work for sustainable development: Natural resource management at the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). (311 citations)
  • Crafting usable knowledge for sustainable development (228 citations)
  • Evolution of models to support community and policy action with science: Balancing pastoral livelihoods and wildlife conservation in savannas of East Africa (114 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Ecology
  • World War II
  • Sustainability

William C. Clark mainly investigates Sustainable development, Sustainability science, Sustainability, Knowledge-based systems and Engineering ethics. His work carried out in the field of Sustainable development brings together such families of science as Wildlife conservation, Facilitator, Livelihood and Environmental planning. His Sustainability science study combines topics in areas such as Boundary-work, Corporate governance, Natural resource management and Sociology of scientific knowledge.

His Sustainability research includes elements of Public economics and Human capital. His studies examine the connections between Knowledge-based systems and genetics, as well as such issues in Stakeholder, with regards to Action. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Economic system, Scholarship and Complex adaptive system.
