Selected Works of Bradley A. Miller

Associate Professor of Agronomy

My work advances the quantitative evaluation of spatial variations in environmental processes that effect the distribution of soil properties, with special consideration for how those variations impact sustainable crop production and environmental quality. My research integrates geographic information science and soil science to develop, improve, and curate high quality, publicly available soil geodatabases.
