- Courses Taught:
Dr. Miller teaches (and plans to teach) introductory and advanced courses in GIS at the undergraduate level. Her graduate seminars will focus on GIScience and ecological applications. - Research Interests:
Dr. Miller's general research interests lie in the confluence of GIScience, integration of GIS and remote sensing, and environmental/ecological modeling. Her specific research focus is in the application area of species distribution modeling (SDM), and much of her previous work has involved conducting extensive model comparisons, representing spatial accuracy, and incorporating spatial dependence in and for SDM. Current research investigates the effects that spatial structure, scale and sampling strategies have on SDM using artificial data. She is also interested in using these methods to explore how changing environmental conditions will affect species distributions. - Selected Publications:
