Matthew Miller
Matt Miller is a Research Hydrologist with the Earth Systems Modeling Branch of the Integrated Modeling and Prediction Division in Boulder, Colorado.
His current research focuses on developing integrated approaches for assessing water availability, including novel approaches for interpreting large data sets to quantify the relationships between water quality, hydrology, land use, and climate at watershed, regional, and national scales. A major theme of Matt’s research is improving process-level understanding of groundwater-surface water interaction and incorporating this understanding into water budget and water quality models. Matt is currently the Project Manager for an Integrated Water Availability Assessment (IWAAs) project in the Upper Colorado River Basin. This project aims to provide insight into how past, present, and future snow conditions – including amount, timing, melt, and transitions from snow- to rain-dominated systems – impact water supply (quantity and quality) and the ability to meet demand.
