Oceanography is the scientific study of the ocean and its components, including the physical, chemical, biological, and geological aspects of the ocean environment. This multidisciplinary field encompasses the exploration of ocean currents, waves, tides, marine ecosystems, and the interactions between the ocean and the atmosphere. Oceanographers investigate phenomena such as marine life, ocean circulation, seabed structures, and the impact of human activities on oceans. The aim is to understand the ocean’s role in the Earth’s climate system, its resources, and its influence on weather and climate patterns. Oceanography is essential for addressing challenges like climate change, marine biodiversity conservation, and sustainable use of marine resources.
