Professional Interests

Ms. Miller’s research is focused on water resources and environmental problems in arid environments. This includes hydrology; hydrometeorology; alluvial fan hydraulics; watershed responsesincluding precipitation losses, channel transmission losses, and runoff; surficial geomorphology; erosion and deposition; contaminant transport; wildfire changes to flood frequency; and landfill cover design for arid regions. Research studies have been conducted for the U.S. Department of Defense, including the U.S Army Corps of Engineers and U.S. Air Force; U.S. Department of Energy; the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation; and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Ms. Miller is a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), and currently is co-Chair of the ASCE/EWRI Curve Number Hydrology Task Committee, as well as Chair of several subcommittees; is registered as an Engineering Intern and Certified Environmental Manager, both in the State of Nevada; and is the Desert Research Institute Project Manager for both the U.S. Department of Energy, Nevada Operations Office, Soils Activity program and the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Legacy Management program.
