Oceanography | Everett Community College |
Oceanographers use their knowledge of geology and geophysics, in addition to biology and chemistry, to study the world's oceans and coastal waters. They study the motion and circulation of the ocean waters and their physical chemical properties, and how these properties affect coastal areas, climate, and weather.
Oceanography also has several subdisciplines:
Physical oceanographers study the ocean tides, waves, currents, temperatures, density, and... |
