Hi! I'm Penitentes (after the
snow formation) and I'm primarily interested in writing/expanding Wikipedia's articles on natural phenomena and hazards. I focus on California wildfires, but also work on articles about severe weather, volcanic eruptions, etc. I also occasionally write about more general geographic topics—I'm very fond of the
Sierra Nevada. Lastly, I like to make illustrative maps of wildfires in
QGIS using public domain data. I use this page to catalog the work I've done so far and keep notes on resources/topics/URLs I might like to use in the future for articles.
If you would like to get in touch, please ping me or leave a message on my talk page. I am open to collaboration,
WP:GAN reviews, or friendly chatter.
