The Clark Center for the Study of Natural Resource Extraction and Society was launched this past summer. Housed at the Marsh Institute, the center will serve as a space for faculty and students conducting research on extractive industries, infrastructure investment, energy, and agroindustry. The center is committed to cross-disciplinary approaches to research on resource extraction, with a particular focus on theory and methodology coming from political ecology, development studies, landscape ecology, and geographic information science and remote sensing. Principle researchers include Tony Bebbington (Geography), Denise Humphreys Bebbington (IDCE), and John Rogan (Geography). Currently housed at the center are post-doctoral researchers Nick Cuba and Laura Sauls.
