Dive GIS summer course 2009 registration deadline

[Mappamondo GIS]

Dear all,
The final early-bird registration deadline for the Dive GIS
2009 course is approaching. Enrol by March 31st and be
entitled to a major fee reduction. The course organized by
Mappamondo GIS in collaboration with the Capo Rizzuto Marine
Protected Area, represents a unique training initiative that
offers the chance to learn Geographic Information Systems
and Remote Sensing methodologies while becoming a certified
SCUBA diver in the context of marine environment management
and science.

Participants are introduced to the underwater world through
PADI Open Water Diver and specialty courses, and to GIS
through leading ESRI authorized classes. The skills gained
are put into practice on a real case study concerning marine
habitat mapping from remotely sensed images and finding
associations among biotic and abiotic components using GIS.
Marine fauna and flora, habitat and GIS data are collected
in the field while SCUBA diving or snorkeling.

The course is at its 4th edition. It will be held from the
26th of July to the 4th of August in the Capo Rizzuto Marine
Protected Area, Crotone - Italy.

Scholarship may become available at a later stage. Those
already enrolled in the course will have priority on their
assignment.
