No. Wait. That's a person who dusts studies. Never mind. But a person who studies winds is probably a meteorologist. As opposed to a skinnierologist.

No. Palynology is an existing word, a branch of palaeobotany; the others are just coined in the Greek words (konis 'dust' had me racking my brains for a few minutes then came to me).

So we came up with a word "aeropolvology"; polvo is spanish for dust so we assume it is probably also latin. You know this cold stick and you can say you had a part in it!! Have fun and check the 4 page info sheet on dust in the website below. Gene http://coastal.er.usgs.gov/african_dust/ (so i guess my pulvology guess wasn't so far off after all )thanks A!!
