    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!
