forgotten Pig Latin, but started needing to write massive batch data analyses via bash... not sure whey I even include programming languages here though, makes me look like a nerd.

Welcome to my page! I'm not very active these days, but feel free to leave me a message, especially if you want a hand with an Earth-science-type article. And if I don't reply... then the Wikipedia message was likely filtered in my email notifications, so Google search my name and send me an email directly ; )
 
[[User:Awickert|Andy Wickert]] ([[User talk:Awickert|talk]]) 19:15, 1 May 2015 (UTC)
My name is Andrew Wickert. Here I go by Andy or Andrew or Awickert or awickert. I have a [http://instaar.colorado.edu/~wickert/doku.php?id=home website] that is now badly out of date, and [http://hydrosciences.colorado.edu/people/person_details.php?person_ID=53 not-my-website that is uncoincidentally up-to-date]. I am a geology/geophysics grad student who works on (1) [[sediment transport|sedimentary]] and [[geomorphology|geomorphic]] processes; (2) Earth and lanscape response to mass redistribution over the last glacial cycle; (3) flexural [[isostasy]]; and (4) field monitoring equipment design, construction, and installation for [[flash flood]]s and less scary things. I do field and lab work, but usually spend most of my time writing [[numerical model]]s and analyzing data. If you're ever around Colorado or my other hang-outs, or you want to chat about science/geology, drop me a line!
 
==BasicAbout infome==
 
I am an [https://www.esci.umn.edu/people/Andy-Wickert assistant professor in the Department of Earth Sciences] at the [[University of Minnesota]] and at the [http://www.safl.umn.edu/researchgroup/andy-wickert Saint Anthony Falls Laboratory]. I research rivers, glaciers, sea-level, and water resources in the past and present ([https://www.esci.umn.edu/groups/surface/ research group page]), and in particular work to understand the mechanics and rates of their response to various drivers, including climate and land-use change. I also lead [http://northernwidget.com/ Northern Widget LLC], an [[open-source]] technology company that incorporates modern technology to build high-quality field instrumentation at affordable prices.
I've had a Wikipedia account since Fall 2007, and have been active since Summer 2008. If you want to get in touch with me or help with something, you may leave me a message on my talk page or email me. I will respond, and I may or may not be able to say or do something useful.
 
My username is my abbreviated name because it was my 8-character [[kerberos (protocol)|kerberos]] login, and thereby became a part of my on-computer-identity.
 
If you're interested in what I think about how things should work here, you can read my [[User:Awickert/Curmudgeonly opinions|curmudgeonly opinions]]. If you're interested in not thinking, you can read [[lolcat]]s.
 
==Some links==
Line 31 ⟶ 29:
==To-Do list==
 
*Structural geology refs
*Sed transport clean-up and split into sub-articles
*Exner equation: revise, fully cite, get better permissions than "Fair Use" for the image, get an assessment
*Categorize 3 most recent articles created
*Look at [[Manning formula]], [[Hack's law]], [[Playfair's Law]], WP university stuff
*[[Bar (river morphology)]] and [[shoal]]
*Look at Castle
*[[Gravel bar]] needs a lot of work - I'd like to organize all of the bar articles as well
*Pick apart [[shoal]] into the appropriate landforms via all its redirects and related articles.
*[[Tensor]]
*Create article on [[concordia diagram]]
Line 50 ⟶ 44:
*Make something that ties together glacial-hydro-isostatic adjustment, geoid changes, and sea level, in a way that is understandable, especially with current interest and concerns in the [[Holocene]] and climate change.
*Maybe do a 1D model run of a glacier to make illustrations of its response to climate
*[[Mantle wedge]] - Expand and link to
*[[Flux melting]]
*Reference and link to [[slab (geology)]]
*Fix my goofs in [[Playfair's Law]]
*Write [[Colorado River Extensional Corridor]]
*[[Flat-slab subduction]]: yes, I opened that box
*Merges:
**Merge [[Bench (geology)]], [[Terrace (geology)]], and [[Marine terrace]]
**Corrasion = old term. Merge with [[abrasion (geology)]]
**Merge [[Cosmogenic radionuclide dating]] and [[Surface exposure dating]]
*Look at [[Stream power law]]
