Psammology Group

The purpose of the Psammology (psammo-sand, ology-study
of) Group (PG) is to provide assistance to those involved in
qualified sand studies.

The PG will be a nonprofit international organization
comprised of a diverse and experienced body of members
who volunteer their time and expertise in their respected fields
of sand science. In this effort, the PG attempts to assist in a
wide range of sand projects, studies and education.

The group accepts and procures those projects and studies it
finds interesting and falls within the PG guidelines,
capabilities and resources, and considers both long and short
term duration assignments.

The creation of the Psammology Group was established to fill a
persistent need for assistance in various sand sciences by
individuals, academia, industry, etc. who request extra help.
