Extractions: Training and careers for tomorrow's ocean scientists by Kimberly Mace Cruise the web for ocean careers! Link to additional resources for oceanography and marine science careers Oceanography is interdisciplinary, meaning that oceanographers use their knowledge about several basic science fields like chemistry, geology, physics, meteorology, biology, or mathematics to better understand the ocean. Students attending oceanographic institutions will likely specialize in one of the four main areas of oceanography: Physical oceanographers study oceanic circulation, its influence on biological and chemical processes, and the interaction of the ocean with the atmosphere. They also study water masses in the ocean and how energy from the sun or wind reacts with the sea, and apply principles of physics to gain knowledge about ocean circulation. Chemical oceanographers study natural and man-made chemical compounds in the ocean's waters and seafloor, interactions of atmospheric compounds with the ocean's surface, and dissolved and suspended materials in the water column. Geological oceanographers study the shape and material of the seafloor, the origin of seafloor sediments, causes of geological formations, and predict geological events (such as seafloor volcanoes).

External Links What do Oceanographers do? Oceanographers are scientists who apply physics, chemistry, biology and geology to the study of the world ocean - its currents, tides and circulation; the creatures which live in the oceans; the rocks that lie underneath the ocean; and the places where the ocean meets the atmosphere and the coast. Understanding these things helps governments to look after the oceans properly - for example by controlling pollution, ensuring that fishing boats don't catch all of the young fish before they have a chance to grow, and making sure that the beaches you visit on your holidays are clean and safe to use. A very important job for oceanographers is climate research. The ocean has a great effect on the world's climate because the sea stores so much heat - oceanographers can help to predict future changes in the temperature of the planet, and also to give warning of sea level changes.

Extractions: Oceanography - And Your Career What is oceanography? Oceanography is a multidisciplinary science concerned with knowledge of the oceans and improvements in technology based on such knowledge. It incorporates many scientific fields that can be applied to the marine environmentphysics, geology, chemistry, biology, meteorology, geography, and geodesy. What do oceanographers do? There are two types of oceanographers in the Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command. The physical oceanographer studies the physical properties of the ocean and the relationship between the sea and the atmosphere. The geological oceanographer studies the topographic features, rocks, sediments, and physical composition of the ocean floor. The Command employs other types of marine scientists, such as geophysicists and physical science technicians who examine other aspects of the ocean environment. Where do oceanographers work? Because oceanography is the study of the ocean, most oceanographers spend a great deal of time at sea. The Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command operates eight Military Sealift Command ships, conducting oceanographic survey operations worldwide. Some oceanographers work in ocean research at other organizations.

Extractions: 08:59 AM Aug. 01, 1997 PT With the successful launch of the satellite-bearing SeaStar spacecraft from California's Vandenberg Air Force Base at 1:20 p.m. (PDT) Friday, oceanographers like Gene Carl Feldman are eager for the unprecedented look they will soon get at the world's oceans. "The number of measurements we'll be able to take in one minute ... to make the same number of measurements over the same oceanic area in a ship traveling at 10 knots would take over a decade to collect," said Feldman, oceanographer with NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. NASA's planned launch of the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-View Sensor (SeaWiFS) may well represent the end of a long drought - resulting from the loss of function of the NIMBUS 7 in 1986 - for earth and ocean scientists alike. Researchers have been starved for data that will help them understand the Earth's environmental processes such as the status of ocean productivity and its effect on climate change.

California's First Oceanographers: The Chumash Indians
California's first oceanographers The Chumash Indians. For that reason,I've dubbed these early people as the first oceanographers.
http://www.oceansonline.com/chumash.htm

Extractions: In studying past cultures and especially early California cultures, it strikes me how little we know about the science of these people. As we'll learn in our discussion of the Polynesians, these ocean-going cultures sure knew what they were doing when it came to the ocean. They were able to navigate using clouds and waves and sea birds and they knew when and where particular marine species could be found. In some areas, their knowledge of the sea surpasses our own, especially in their ability to observe a complex ocean landscape and interpret the underlying processes. For that reason, I've dubbed these early people as the first oceanographers. By all definitions of the word they qualify as oceanographers (and then some)! The first California oceanographers can be found among the Chumash Indians. In fact, any of the California coastal tribes, including the Gabrielino who occupied areas between Pt. Conception and Dana Point, could claim this honor. But archaeological evidence of Chumash people predates any other culture, so they title belongs to them for the time being. Now before I go any further, let me state emphatically that I am not an expert on indigenous people. My exposition here is intended to make you aware of the incredible skills these people possessed for oceangoing. There are currently many controversial issues surrounding the preservation and rights of their lands and culture and I support those discussions. If by some chance something here appears inaccurate or misleading, then by all means e-mail me. Indigenous cultures and their relationship with the sea is one of my favorite topics and I am happy to stand corrected on any account!

Ask Your Counselor Oceanographers Oceanographers study the worlds oceans and coastal waters. They study the motion and circulation of the ocean waters and their physical and chemical properties, and how these properties affect coastal areas, climate, and weather. The work of an oceanographer involves conducting studies on samples collected from seas, planning sea trips, and teaching. However, much of it depends upon the area of specialisation that one chooses. Being essentially a researchoriented profession, long periods are spent at the sea with all its challenges and hazards. Oceanographers work in several fields, such as, Geological Oceanography and Physical Oceanography. Chemical Oceanography deals with the composition and quality of water. They study the effects of pollutants on oceans and work on projects for treatment of industrial solid and sewage waste. Their work is of special relevance today in view of the growing level of pollution. Geological Oceanography deals with the geological study of the ocean floor and sedimentations. Such studies help in deciding location for marine structures as well as in exploitation of mineral resources of the ocean.
