Keith Charles Clarke (born December 9, 1955) is a professor of Analytical Cartography and Modelling in the Department of Geography at the University of California, Santa Barbara, USA.[1]
He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and his research area is cartography and geographic information science.
Career
[edit]Clarke's research has been on dynamic simulation models, spatial analysis and analytical cartography. As of July 2020 Google Scholar lists Clarke as having an h-index of 60 and an i10-index of 136.[2] With a total number of citations of 19396, a key most cited paper reporting the first fully operational Urban Cellular Automaton Computer Model in 1997, counts 1714 citations,[3] his second most cited paper introduced in 1998 key innovations in the linkages between cellular automaton (CA) and geographic information system (GIS).[4] His third most cited paper introduced in 2003 pivotal innovation in linkages between spatial metrics, modelling and remote sensing using Ikonos satellite images.[5]
Often used books by practitioners and researchers in GIS, spatial analysis and GIS teaching and research programmes include: Maps and Web Mapping,[6] Getting Started with GIS,[7] and Analytical and Computer Cartography.[8] He was the North-American Editor of the International Journal of Geographical Information Systems.
Clarke is credited for producing one of the most used operational urban computer models—SLEUTH.[9] SLEUTH is a CA, calibrated with Markov chain Monte Carlo – stochastic modelling, and recently includes genetic algorithm (GA) calibration. A staff member and former Director of the National Center for Geographic Information and Analysis (NCGIA) and a key figure in the development of space/time dynamic urban simulation models, spatial analysis and geographic information systems.
He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.[10] In 2018 he was awarded by the University Consortium for Geographic Information Science the Carolyn Merry mentoring Award "to recognize an individual who demonstrates exceptional mentoring abilities and practices".[11]
