American Association of Stratigraphic Palynologists, Inc. (AASP), was established in 1967 by a group of 32 founding members to promote the science of palynology in academia and industry. Today AASP has a world-wide membership of about 500 and is run by an executive comprising an elected Board of Directors and subsidiary boards and committees. AASP welcomes new individuals as members who are interested in the science of palynology and institutional members who wish to receive our publications.
