Hi! This is the page for user Penitentes (after the snow formation).
| This is a Wikipedia user page. |
I primarily write and expand articles on natural phenomena and hazards. I occasionally write about more general geographic topics—I'm very fond of the Sierra Nevada, where I spend some precious off-Wikipedia time. I also make illustrative maps in QGIS using wholly public domain data to supplement articles. This page is to catalog work done and keep notes on resources/topics/links I may use in the future. If you would like to get in touch, please ping me or leave a message on my talk page.
