About the course

Oceanography is the interdisciplinary study of the global oceans -- from shallow coastal areas to the deepest ocean trenches, from the tropics to the polar seas. It is usually divided into four sub-disciplines:

　　Physical Oceanography ? the study of waves, currents, tides, and ocean energy.

　　Geological Oceanography ? the study of the sediments, rocks, and structure of the seafloor and coastal margins.

　　Chemical Oceanography ? the study of the composition and properties of seawater and how it is affected by physical mixing processes and interactions with the seafloor, the atmosphere, and ocean life.

　　Biological Oceanography ? the study of marine organisms and their interactions with the ocean environment.

　　All of these sub-disciplines are highly interrelated, as well as being ly aligned to other fields such as meteorology/atmospheric science, geophysics, and ocean engineering. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
