Long Bio

Bill Miller spent his early developmental years running around in the
hardwood forests of central Indiana where he began his infatuation
with the outdoors and natural sciences.  Following several years
in the U.S. Army he returned to college in Washington State where he
continued his pursuit of knowledge of natural sciences earning a BS in
Range Management with emphasis in Wildlfe Management, from Washington
State University.  Realizing that he needed to expand his
knowledge base in order to pursue his interest in wildlife he obtained
a MS in Forest and Range Science, studying Deer Habitat Selection and
Nutrition in the Okanogon Highlands of Washington. Recognizing his
need to further understand the complexities of animal nutrition lead
him to obtaining his PhD. in Animal Sciences focusing on the energy
metabolism of grazing animals. 

Dr. Miller joined the faculty at ASU in 1984 and has continued to
pursue his interest in Natural Resources and Wildlife Mangement in
both his teaching and research.  Dr. Miller is a member of The
Wildlife Society, the Society for Range Mangement, and the 
American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing.

Research Interests

">The emphasis of my
research has been focused on real world wildlife issues of habitat
selection and utilization.  I have been involved in
numerous studies that have centered on the understanding of those
factors regulating wildlife utilization of their habitat, and how
manipulation of those factors can enhance wildlife populations. 
The majority of my research effort has been and remains focused on
large ungulates such as elk, deer, pronghorn, and bighorn sheep, with
some involvement in large carnivores.  I have
developed a strong research capability for determination and analysis
of wildlife diets and nutrient quality.  Similarly,
I am actively involved in several studies surrounding the application
of GIS and remote sensing to the evaluation of wildlife habitat and
the potential expansion of these technologies into the area of habitat
suitability analysis.
