The visit to the Emirates has got greater consequences than initially thought. My wife and I will travel back to Dubai in the near future (October) to start a new job as a geologist! My scientific research will be temperately put on a site track. A second job offer from Yemen sounded very exiting too, but the decision was already made. We will keep on working closely together with the Yemeni government and Ministries and can hopefully even contribute directly from the Emirates.
The SKP9 expeditions, scheduled for the end of December - beginning of January 2008, will be organised through the previous core team members and focus both on the length and depth potentials of the Soqotran Karst features!
