Fredrik Johan Wiik

Fredrik Johan Wiik, also known as F.J. Wiik, (16 December 1839 in Helsinki – 15 June 1909 in Helsinki) was a Finnish geologist and mineralogist; in 1877, he was named the first professor of geology and mineralogy at the Imperial Alexander University of Finland,[1] where his students included Jakob Sederholm[2] and Wilhelm Ramsay.[3] He was also the first scientist in Finland to use a petrographic microscope.

Wiik died in 1909, on a geological expedition; his body was found clutching his geologist's hammer.[4]

The mineral wiikite is named for him.

Personal life

Wiik was the son of noted Finnish architect Jean Wik.[5]

gollark: It has Risk of Rain or something.
gollark: Oh, we expanded the EM playlist a little bit recently.
gollark: The system is also able to detect when there is no prefix available from an upstream interface and can switch into relaying mode automatically to extend the upstream interface configuration onto its downstream interfaces. This is useful for putting the target router behind another IPv6 router which doesn't offer prefixes via DHCPv6-PD.
gollark: OpenWrt features a versatile RA & DHCPv6 server and relay. Per default SLAAC and both stateless and stateful DHCPv6 are enabled on an interface. If there are any prefixes of size /64 or shorter present then addresses will be handed out from each prefix. If all addresses on an interface have prefixes shorter than /64 then DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation is enabled for downstream routers. If a default route is present the router advertises itself as default router on the interface.
