I live in Seattle, Washington, and I've also lived in Oregon, Colorado, and Minnesota. I have a M.S. in geology. I post photos on Flickr. I made my first Wikipedia edit on December 20, 2004.

I am an active contributor to BWCAWiki, a wiki about the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in northeastern Minnesota. You can contribute!

[edit] Past edits

I enjoy contributing to articles on geology and geography of locations I've been to (or would like to visit):

• on the Colorado Plateau: the Dirty Devil River, Paria River, Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness, San Rafael Swell
• the Rocky Mountains: Pike National Forest
• the Pacific Northwest: Ross Lake, North Cascades National Park, Alpine Lakes Wilderness, Goat Rocks
• Minnesota: Anoka, Grand Marais, Ely, the Gunflint Trail, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, Boundary Waters, Voyageurs National Park, Isle Royale National Park (actually MI), Grand Portage National Monument, North Shore (Lake Superior), Superior Hiking Trail, North Country Trail
• Canada: Quetico Provincial Park, Bowron Lake Provincial Park
• and elsewhere: Bodø, Norway

...adding to geological articles of interest:

• cosmogenic isotope, G. K. Gilbert

...improving articles on hobbies and interests of mine:

• dunkel, spruce beer, Duluth pack, tumpline, the Wilderness Act of 1964, Sigurd Olson

...as well as correcting spelling and grammar on encountered pages when necessary.

[edit] To-do

[edit] In progress

• adding to geography stubs: Antarctica, Colorado, Midwestern U.S., Oregon, Utah, Washington, Western U.S.
  • science stubs: geologist, geology
  • other stubs: beer and brewery, climbing, Colorado

[edit] In the future

• creation of a Laurentide Ice Sheet article? The "Glaciation in North America" section of the ice age article could be re-organized to better describe the continental glaciation as a single, massive ice sheet with multiple examples of its effects, rather than currently sounding like random collection of events. More work on geology articles.
• integrating a geologic perspective into the absolute dating article
