Gracias por la información, ya me inscribí en los cursos.
I am a professional Marine Ecologist, and till now I had a big limitation in my abilities â?? no GIS training! And no time to stop working to do a proper thing! And I am in Oman â?? should I move back to Europe only because of it?
Now, I will have the chance to do some proper jobâ?¦
THANKS to the Florida State Universityâ??s Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies!
WONDERFUL! WONDERFUL! WONDERFUL!
At today (08-08-30) the old web site is no more operational,

thanks for your effort.

I’ve been looking forward to aquire the skills GIS can offer online as I dont have the opportuinity to do that for two reasons; financially and school work…..alas I gave a sigh of relief when I found this one.
