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 ; )

About me
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.

Current Project
[Life!]
To-Do list
- 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
- Look at Manning formula, Hack's law, Playfair's Law, WP university stuff
- Bar (river morphology) and shoal
- Tensor
- Create article on concordia diagram
- Pole shift hypothesis: define, fork off to change in obliquity and TPW, and general education of relationship to mass media / entertainment
- Figure out where to put Wave-formed ripple
- 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
- 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
