From the article:
Science is fascinating and increasingly there are opportunities for ordinary citizens and students to engage. At a recent meeting focused on Engineering With Nature solutions, I struck up a conversation with Dr. Brian McFall who is a scientist at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Coastal & Hydraulics Laboratory and Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC). He mentioned his involvement in a project called SandSnap. He explained that it was scientific effort that could really use the public’s help in documenting grains of sand on beaches.
