The Clark Labs is dedicated to the research and development of geographic information technologies for effective environmental management. With a team of research scientists, we have pioneered both the theoretical advancement and application of GIS in areas such as decision support, change and time series analysis, digital image processing, uncertainty management, and technology transfer.
The IDRISI system is a manifestation of this union ; recall IDRISI is a user-friendly professional-level GIS, Image Processing and Spatial Statistics analytical tool. The latest version of IDRISI is known as IDRISI Kilimanjaro, the 32-bit version designed for Windows NT, now in its third release. Capabilities provided by IDRISI include: spatial analysis, geospatial composition and display, surface modeling, geostatistics, and much more.
Active groups at Clark Labs include: Change and Time Series Analysis, Decision Support and Error Incorporation in GIS, Geostatistical Analysis and Surface Modeling, and Technology Transfer and System Implementation. Current research on surface analysis and interpolation is also underway, and the IDRISI software includes several modules derived from this research.
