During his time at Dartmouth, Hayden Miller '25 designed a trip to Australia to paddle its longest river, the Murray, and spent time in southern Chile, assisting professor Sarah Kelly and the Energy Justice Clinic at the Arthur L. Irving Institute for Energy and Society in research on watersheds in Mapuche territory.

Miller also received an Arts Integration Grant from the Hopkins Center for the Arts to study flooding and map the White River in Vermont using drone media.

Through it all, the former Ledyard Canoe Club president combined his passions for paddling and rivers with his talent for documentary work.

"I found that video and visual media is the best way to communicate some of the science that I've been carrying out," says Miller, a biology and environmental studies major who graduated in June.
