John Milliman
John D. Milliman (born 5 May 1938) is a retired[1] American Emeritus Professor of marine geology. He is a professor emeritus in the department of physical sciences and in the Virginia Institute of Marine Science at the College of William & Mary.
Education
[edit]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
[edit]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]
