Marti L Miller
Research on the geology, tectonics, and mineral resources of southwestern Alaska and Prince William Sound.
Professional Experience
2003 - Present Associate Center Director for Geology, USGS Alaska Science Center and Regional Geologic and Mineral Deposit Data for Alaska's Economic Development. This umbrella project focuses on various parts of Alaska where collection and interpretation of new geologic, geochemical, and (or) geophysical data help define undiscovered metallic resources.
1998-2002 Leader, Kuskokwim Mineral Belt Study. Evaluated the lithologic, geochemical, structural, and tectonic controls of mineralization in the 190,000-km2 Kuskokwim Mineral Belt.
1995-1996 Team Leader and Principal Investigator, Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with Calista Native Corporation to study the geology and metallic resources of the Stuyahok area, Holy Cross quadrangle.
1993-1995 Team Leader, Sleetmute Quadrangle Mineral/Environmental Study.
1984-1992 Team Leader, Mineral Resource Assessment of the Iditarod quadrangle, west-central Alaska.
