William Miller serves as an Affiliated Research Professor and Professor of Geology in the Department of Geological and Environmental Sciences at Humboldt State University, contributing to the department's 50th anniversary milestone in Spring 2025.

His academic foundation includes:

• B.S. in Geology from Appalachian State University
• M.S. in Geological Sciences from UNC Chapel Hill
• Ph.D. in Earth Sciences from Tulane University

Dr. Miller's research spans geological and environmental disciplines with emphasis on earth system dynamics, environmental change processes, and historical geology. His work integrates field studies with environmental analysis to address planetary-scale geological phenomena, resource sustainability, and landscape evolution across diverse temporal scales. This multidisciplinary approach bridges traditional geology with contemporary environmental science challenges.
