Ellie Miller

Ellie Miller is a third-year PhD Student and NSF GRFP Fellow at Colorado School of Mines. She works in the Rates and Dates group to reconstruct long-term ice sheet evolution using a suite of geochemical and modeling-based methods.

Her research aims to improve our understanding of ice mass loss through three core themes: (1) generating new geological records of deglaciation, (2) investigating the impacts of deglaciation on hydrologic systems, and (3) improving physical ice-sheet models by integrating paleo and contemporary glaciological datasets. This research strives to constrain ice mass loss over geologic time scales and improve our understanding of ice sheet dynamics, with the ultimate goal of helping society better prepare for future sea-level rise driven by current and projected climate change.
