Clark went to school at Magee High School in Vancouver and to university at UBC. He became a mathematician and applied his knowledge to accurate identification and analysis of renewable resources like fisheries, and how to manage them optimally. He wrote an important book called Mathematical Bioeconomics that explains his approach. He has been a Killam Sr. Research Fellow twice, and received the Biely Faculty Research Prize in 1978.
