Oceanography - Wikipedia It is an Earth science, which covers a wide range of topics, including ocean currents, waves, and geophysical fluid dynamics; fluxes of various chemical substances and physical properties within the ocean and across its boundaries; ecosystem dynamics; and plate tectonics and seabed geology
A Marine Biologist Explains: What exactly is oceanography? As its name suggests, oceanography is the study of all things ocean and ocean-related Divided into four interconnected branches (physical, chemical, biological, and geological), this field of science examines the past, measures the present, and models the future Fundamentally, the world’s ocean is a single continuous body of salt water
