This editor is a Tutnum and is entitled to display this Book of Knowledge.
My name is Andrew Wickert. Here I go by Andy or Andrew or Awickert or awickert. I have a website that is now badly out of date, and not-my-website that is uncoincidentally up-to-date. I am a geology/geophysics grad student who works on (1) sedimentary and 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 floods and less scary things. I do field and lab work, but usually spend most of my time writing numerical models 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!
Why I haven't been around
I have not been spending too much time editing Wikipedia lately. There are several reasons, almost exclusively dealing with me being busy. The projects that I think are complete enough to be cool are linked here:
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 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 curmudgeonly opinions. If you're interested in not thinking, you can read lolcats.
Landscape evolution model: expand, maybe try for a DYK because I don't know how that works. Run CHILD and make an animation / figure with GT's permission.
Create articles and a main page for the Cambrian and Ordovician stratigraphy of the Upper Midwestern United States
Flexural isostasy stuff: make some animations with my model once I publish something on it that is good enough to cite
River needs to move into this century in terms of the geomorphology
Would be nice to make geology a featured article; seems very hard, but WP should have core articles be featured. Will I ever get to it?
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
