Education

Milliman earned Bachelor of Science from the University of Rochester, a Master of Science from the University of Washington, Seattle, and a PhD from the University of Miami. [1]

Research

In 1968, Milliman and K.O. Emery published an article in Science suggesting that the Holocene transgression began 14,000 years ago and was over by 7,000 years ago. [2] In 2003 he and Jonathan A. Warrick found that rivers of Southern California, such as Santa Clara River and Transverse Ranges, discharge a huge amount of sediment especially during El Niño–Southern Oscillation. [3] In 2005 Milliman studied seven rivers in Taiwan after typhoon Herb swept through the region. [4] [5] He and his colleagues also studied the following river and shelf systems: Yangtze, [6] Yellow, [7] Fly, etc.

Milliman was named one of Virginia's "outstanding scientists" by Governor Bob McDonnell in 2012. [8]
