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,
while the new one still is not working,
please check yourself,
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.
