JULIANNE J. MILLER

EDUCATION:

M.S., Water Resources Management, University of Nevada, Las Vegas
B.S., Geological Sciences, University of Washington

PROFESSIONAL INTERESTS:

Ms. Miller's research is focused on water resources and environmental problems in arid environments. This includes alluvial fan hydraulics; watershed responses; precipitation losses, channel transmission losses, and runoff; surficial geomorphology; and landfill cover design for arid regions. Research studies have been conducted for the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Ms. Miller is ASCE's Hydraulic and Waterways Council Secretary; is registered as an Engineering Intern and Certified Environmental Manager, both in the State of Nevada; and is the Desert Research Institute Program Manager for the U.S. Department of Energy, Nevada Operations Office, Waste Management Program.
