Oceanography is the study of the physical, chemical, biological, and geological aspects of the ocean. It is a multidisciplinary science that explores everything from ocean circulation patterns and marine ecosystems to seabed geology and the chemical properties of seawater. Oceanographers use a variety of tools and technologies, such as satellites, buoys, underwater vehicles, and sophisticated sensors, to collect data and study the vast and complex oceanic environments. This field is crucial for understanding climate change impacts, predicting weather phenomena like hurricanes, managing marine resources, and conserving marine biodiversity. Oceanography also addresses issues like ocean acidification and sea-level rise, providing critical insights that help policymakers and scientists make informed decisions about marine and coastal management.
