	Oceanography - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Oceanography (from Ocean + Greek γράφειν = write), also called oceanology or marine science is the study of the Earth's oceans and seas.
		Physical oceanography, the study of the ocean's physical attributes (such as its temperature-salinity structure, waves, tides and currents).
		Oceanography began as a quantifiable science in 1872, when the Scots Charles Wyville Thompson and John Murray launched the Challenger expedition (1872-76).

		OCEANOGRAPHY [oceanography] study of the seas and oceans.
		Oceanography as a comprehensive study dates from the Challenger expedition (1872-76), directed by the naturalists C. Thomson, a Scot, and John Murray, a Canadian.
		The term oceanography became current through reports of the expedition edited by Murray, who later became a leader in the study of ocean sediment.

	Florida Institute of Technology
		Oceanography is an interdisciplinary science that attempts to describe and understand the oceans.
		At Florida Tech, the oceanography program might better be called oceanology, because of our dedication to the study of the sea in all its aspects, including oceanography, geophysics, undersea exploration, economic and governmental uses, and management.
		The marine studies oceanography undergraduate curricula are designed to prepare the graduate for a professional scientific career and/or graduate studies exploring the scientific implication of human activities in and near the oceans.

	Oceanography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Oceanography is the study of the deep sea and shallow coastal oceans: their biology, chemistry, geology and physics together make oceanography a richly interdisciplinary science.
		Although oceanography is a relatively young science, it is the natural setting to ask fundamental questions about the development of life, and the behavior (or misbehavior) of global climate.
		Oceanography is a natural 'home' in which to ask such questions, with inhabitants from each of the four principal disciplines.

		Physical oceanography is the exploration and study of the physics and geography of the ocean currents and water properties.
		Biological oceanography is the study of the various oceanic life forms and their relationships to one another; adaptations to the marine environment, and developing ecologically sound methods of harvesting seafood.
		Since the study of oceanography often examines in detail all the different disciplines of oceanography, it is often described as being an interdisciplinary science, or one covering all the disciplines of science as they apply to the oceans.

	Careers in Oceanography
		Since oceanography is such a new science (with much room left for new discoveries) most people enter the field with an advanced degree (master’s or doctorate).
		New fields associated with biological oceanography include marine biotechnology (the use of natural marine resources in the development of new industrial and biomedical products) and molecular biology (the study of the structure and function of bioinformational molecules—such as DNA, RNA, and proteins—and the regulation of cellular processes at the molecular level).
		The Oceanography Society can be contacted at 4052 Timber Ridge Drive, Virginia Beach, VA 23455 and their telephone number is (804) 464-0131.
