Ian Clark
NRSP Scientific Advisor

Clark and the NRSP
Clark sits on the "scientific advisory board" of a Canadian group called the "Natural Resource Stewardship Project," (NRSP) a lobby organization that refuses to disclose it's funding sources. The NRSP is led by executive director Tom Harris and Dr. Tim Ball. An Oct. 16, 2006 CanWest Global news article on who funds the NRSP, it states that "a confidentiality agreement doesn't allow him [Tom Harris] to say whether energy companies are funding his group."

Recently, DeSmog has discovered that the NRSP is controlled by energy industry lobbyists.

Clark is a professor in the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Ottawa. A search of 22,000 academic journals shows that, Clark has published over 45 research articles in peer-reviewed journals, mainly on the subject of hyrogeology and geochemistry.
