Background and Research Interests

Gretchen Miller, Ph.D., P.E., is an associate professor of water resources engineering in the Zachry Department of Civil Engineering at Texas A&M University, where she teaches fluid dynamics and groundwater engineering. Prior to joining Texas A&M, she studied environmental engineering at the University of California at Berkeley and geological engineering at the Missouri University of Science and Technology. She is registered as a professional engineer in the state of Texas. Her awards include a National Science Foundation CAREER grant, a reviewer commendation from Water Resources Research, and the Texas A&M Dean of Engineering Excellence Award.

Dr. Miller specializes in ecohydrology and groundwater sustainability, focusing on the interactions between groundwater, soil moisture, and vegetation and their implications for managing water resources. Her work with the Texas Water Observatory focuses on using data to improve a range of models, including Texas Groundwater Availability Models, such as that of the Brazos River Alluvium Aquifer (BRAA), and highly complex Earth system models, like the Community Earth System Model (CESM). She also has expertise in methods for monitoring evapotranspiration (e.g., eddy covariance, sap flow) and subsurface water storage.
