I am Icewalk. I know a few things about ice and in particular about mountain glaciers. I would like to contribute to the Wikipedia content about glaciers in the tropics and in the Himalaya, and also to the content about the observed retreat of glaciers since 1850. As glaciers are sensitive to climate variations, I have also learned about global climate change. I would like to use the science literature and extract information that is useful in understanding glaciers and climate.
I am also a fan of Mr. Dax Riggs.

I would like to add/edit the following:
1. Computation of the incidence angle as it relates to solar radiation. I will probably use the 'An Introduction to Solar Radiation' book by Iqbal (1983), write out the formula and explain the variables.
2. Edit the discussion about the cause of retreat of Karakoram glaciers, as currently it states that this is because of debris cover. That may be true but there may be other factors contributing to the advance of Karakoram glaciers. The science on that is inconclusive.
3. Add sources to D.R. page and archive the online articles. Icewalk (talk) 14:47, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
4. I would love to start a page on Zongo glacier, or add description of ZG to the peak Huayna Potosi page.
