He made study and collecting trips widely through the American region, especially on the Pacific coasts. From 1910 he was particularly interested in the Australian echinoderm fauna. He made expeditions to Australia in 1913, 1929 and 1932. Results of these studies were published in a number of papers, and the monographs Echinoderms from Australia: an account of collections made in 1929 and 1932 (1938) and The echinoderm fauna of Australia (1946). In the latter he recorded all known species (including fossils) and discussed the origins and composition of the fauna in relation to adjacent areas. Clark spent most of his career at the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University, being Associate Professor of Zoology from 1927 to 1935, and retiring as Curator of Marine Invertebrates in 1946 after 20 years in the role. In 1947 he was awarded the Clark Medal by the Royal Society of New South Wales for his work on Australian echinoderms. 1892 1892 Education - AB, Amherst College, Amherst, Massachusetts, U.S.A. 1897 1897 Education - PhD, John Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.A. 1899 1905 Career position - Professor of biology, Olivet College, Olivet, Michigan, U.S.A. 1905 1910 Career position - Assistant in vertebrate zoology, Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, U.S.A. 1910 1927 Career position - Curator of Echinoderms, Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, U.S.A. 1927 1927 Award - Doctor of Science honoris causa, Olivet College, Olivet, Michigan, U.S.A. 1927 1946 Career position - Curator of Marine Invertebrates, Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, U.S.A. 1936 1936 Career position - Acting associate professor, Stanford University, Stanford., California, U.S.A 1946 1947 Career position - Research Associate, Allan Hancock Foundation, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California, U.S.A. 1947 1947 Award - Clarke Medal, Royal Society of New South Wales Clarke Medal, Royal Society of New South Wales (1878 - )
