Associate Prof. Andrew Wickert, PhD

Portrait Andrew Wickert

Member of the Global Faculty

Associate Professor, St. Anthony Falls Laboratory and Department of Earth & Environmental Sciences, University of Minnesota, USA

Dr. Andrew (Andy) Wickert completed his SB in 2008 at MIT and his PhD in 2014 at the University of Colorado Boulder. After a short postdoc at the University of Potsdam, he joined the faculty at the University of Minnesota in 2015. His expertise broadly covers topics in Earth-surface science: sediment transport and river morphodynamics, sea level and glacial isostatic adjustment, glacial and Quaternary geology, geomorphology, and field instrumentation design and deployment. He currently coordinates projects to forecast, reconstruct, and mechanistically model river-network change, and to study the integrated evolution of the Lake Superior basin. At the University of Cologne, he will be collaborating with Jun.-Prof. Dr. Svenja Riedesel to link Earth-surface dynamics with applications of luminescence analysis.
