I’m Bertie Miller, and I’m a geophysicist, glaciologist, artist, and teacher. I hope you like the website I made. I am currently working as a field geophysicist with Terracon out of Philadelphia, PA. I recently finished my graduate degree at Temple University, working with Dr. Atsuhiro Muto in the Polar Geophysics and Glaciology group. I specialized in glacier disconnection and icefield vulnerability. I have my bachelor’s degree from Williams College, in both Geosciences and Studio Art. I have worked as a rowing, cross-country running, and rock-climbing youth coach. I have worked and studied in Greenland, Iceland, Alaska, the Bering Sea, and for the British Antarctic Survey. email me for my CV at rbcm96@gmail.com Read more here CLICK for:&nbsp; storms ︎ rbcm96@gmail.com&nbsp; rbmiller@terracon.com tur75487@temple.edu &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; https://bertiemiller.cargo.site/The-Drawing-Board Tue, 17 Feb 2026 20:50:30 +0000 Bertie Miller https://bertiemiller.cargo.site/The-Drawing-Board This is The Drawing Board &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;click the “-” in the upper left 10x to see what the drawing board is made of https://bertiemiller.cargo.site/Research Fri, 06 Oct 2023 17:17:48 +0000 Bertie Miller https://bertiemiller.cargo.site/Research Research and Publications Publications, Posters, Abstracts Miller, R., Fortner, S., Lakeram, S., Leidman, S., Peek, M., Perera, E.

I work in installation, video, sculpture, and new media. My art practice is always evolving. This website is a fun project. It is inspired by surfing the web and the James Gandolfini service area off the turnpike. Kinda restorative stuff in non-restorative settings..&nbsp; I have carpentry and steel welding experience and have apprenticed with a large scale mural artist and a steel sculptor. I am trained in glaciological geophysical research and mountaineering, which is a foundation of my artistic practice as well. I have worked as a freelance music video editor, videographer, and director. I am experienced with Adobe Creative Cloud programs and Blender software. &nbsp; I am interested in topics of remote sensing, deep time, bending time, geophysical fields, geological processes, ice, transparency/opacity, butchness, trans identity, queer bodies, seeing, and communication.&nbsp; My work frequently deals with combining geophysical theory, poetics of relation, and studies on image, screen, glitch, and surveillance.translation, eros, myth, and time also come up for me. See more at @ice_butch or email me for a fuller portfolio with videos etc. I’m a not-so-great archivist, the things I’ve made are not all consolidated... Nowadays I am one of the artists helping to run hall pass in Philadelphia, the #1 city in the universe.

In “Seeing,” Dillard relays the experience of post-operative cataract patients who, newly sighted, can describe the process of learning to see. Fresh vision is “unencumbered by meaning.” In contrast, Dillard -- like most of us -- sees what she expects to see, lamenting that she “used to be able to see flying insects in the air. [She’d] look ahead and see, not the row of hemlocks across the road, but the air in front of it.” Expectation eclipses our capacity for discovery. We too often skip ahead to the familiar and affirming or to what we think is important or think we know. Lost in this mental shortcut are the flying insects -- the dynamic specks, depths, textures, shades, shadows, and surprises of the open air. In Seeing, a splayed hand is described as “something bright, then holes“. The negative space is worth as much as the filled. &nbsp; &nbsp; Attention without presupposition helped me become a better artist and scientist, but it has made my whole life richer. As a science teacher, I bring immersive qualitative observation to quantitative study. For instance, one can tell if glacial lake sediments, called varves, were deposited in the winter or the summer 11,000 years ago based on the mouthfeel of the grains. A spoonful of cakey winter clay will not crunch in your back teeth and gums, but coarse summer grains subtly will. Students in my classroom would learn why, but be able to taste, touch, feel, and connect to this deep time. My teaching methods don’t always center on asking students to taste their homework, but -- across disciplines -- I want to foreground the practice of receptivity in their lives as apprentice world-observers, world-inhabitors, world-imaginers. &nbsp; &nbsp;This approach can also be a powerful tool in creating space around expectations, preconceptions, and biases that can hinder curiosity and learning in classrooms, often inequitably. In both science and visual art, there is an overdetermined conception of what a “good student” looks, speaks, and acts like. I try to work towards creating settings devoted to creativity, collaboration, and accessibility, each of which informs my political and pedagogical commitments. &nbsp; &nbsp; I want to meet each student where they are, in turns posing positive reinforcement and appropriate challenge to visual, verbal, and hands-on learners, to introverts and extroverts, to those who understand in rapid bursts, and to those who require practice, trial, error, and revision to build slowly and steadily to insight. I want to help students find the being taking wing beyond any of that -- in themselves and in one another.&nbsp; https://bertiemiller.cargo.site/Interests Fri, 06 Oct 2023 17:17:50 +0000 Bertie Miller https://bertiemiller.cargo.site/Interests Interests <img width="2578" height="1150" width_o="2578" height_o="1150" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/69a64339c6db2c9472ab68bb6ea964446df1af61f71627fb18084967da700426/RopeLead.png" data-mid="192953776" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/69a64339c6db2c9472ab68bb6ea964446df1af61f71627fb18084967da700426/RopeLead.png" /> Pictured: leading a rope team down a peak on the Juneau Icefield.
