About

The Sandatlas is a geoblog written by Siim Sepp. I am a geology student at the University of Tartu in Estonia. I am currently working on my masters thesis.

I am writing here mostly about sand, rocks, minerals, geotrips, and geology in general. I am fascinated by most things geological and wish to share my passion with others. My aim is to post educational stuff because I believe that you learn the most while trying to teach others. Geology is a highly visual science. In many cases you have to see to get the point. Hence, I will use lots of photos but images only won’t do the trick. I will try to explain my photos and ask you kindly not to mind grammatical errors. I am Estonian, English is not my native language.

I also collect sand, rocks, and minerals. If you are interested in swapping, take a look at my trading page.

You may use my images non-commercially without asking me but it would be nice if you let me know.
