Jim Miller uses a combination of observations and climate model simulations to understand how water will both impact and be impacted by future climate change, with a major focus on the analysis of feedbacks in the climate system. Of particular interest is predicting future changes in water resources, river flow and temperature, permafrost, Arctic climate, and climate in mountainous regions.
