Robert B Miller is a Professor of Geology in the Department of Geology within the College of Science at San José State University. His academic career spans several decades with a focus on igneous and structural geology.
Education:
- Doctor of Philosophy, University of Washington, 1980
- M.S., University of Washington, 1975
- B.S., Allegheny College, 1973
Professor Miller's research interests center on the geological processes of pluton emplacement, crustal deformation, and magma chamber dynamics. His work extensively examines the North Cascades region in Washington, investigating how magmatic systems interact with tectonic forces to shape the Earth's crust. He has made significant contributions to understanding the relationship between igneous intrusions and regional deformation patterns.
His publication record from 1993-2002 reveals a consistent focus on magmatic processes, particularly examining sheeted plutons, magmatic fabrics, and the structural evolution of batholiths. The research demonstrates an evolution from descriptive field studies toward more process-oriented investigations of magma emplacement mechanisms. Many papers analyze the North Cascades crystalline core, with particular attention to the Mount Stuart batholith and surrounding geological formations.
Professor Miller has engaged in collaborative research, including the long-term project 'The Tuolumne Intrusive Complex, A Natural Laboratory for Studying Magma Chamber Processes' (2005-3000). His professional service includes work on geologic structures and igneous rocks as documented in his 2004 activities. While specific grant details aren't provided in the available information, his research program appears to have been consistently active throughout his career.
