Kenneth G. Miller (born 1956) is a Geology professor at Rutgers University. Ken is Professor (II) and acting Chair of the Department of Geological Sciences of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey.A resident of Pennington, NJ, Ken grew up in Medford, NJ in the heart of the pine barrens and still owns a house in Waretown, NJ, the home of the sounds of the NJ pines, where he watches the inexorable rise in sea level from his deck 13 ft above Barnegat Bay. He claims that you don’t need to sell your beach real estate, because melting of large ice sheets will take from centuries to a few thousand years.[1]
He received an A.B. from Rutgers College (1978) and a Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology/Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Joint Program in Oceanography (1982). He was an Associate Research Scientist at Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory from 1983-1988.
Ken a veteran of 8 scientific cruises (6 as co-chief including ODP Leg 150), he has integrated offshore seismic and drilling activities with onshore drilling: since 1993, he has been Chief Scientist of the New Jersey Coastal Plain Drilling Project (Ocean Drilling Program Legs 150X and 174AX) which continuously cored eleven sites. Author of over 100 peer-reviewed scientific papers, his most significant publications include widely cited synthesis of Cenozoic oxygen isotopes (Miller et al., 1987) and a synthesis of global sea-level change (Miller et al., 1998, 2005). He was awarded the 2003 Rosenstiel Award from the University of Miami and is a two-time JOI/USSAC Distinguished Lecturer (1995, 2006). He has talked on several radio stations about Sea level change and the effects of global warming.
