Oceanography is the scientific study of the ocean, encompassing a wide range of disciplines that analyze various aspects of the ocean’s physical, chemical, biological, and geological characteristics. It involves investigating ocean currents, marine ecosystems, seabed geology, oceanic chemistry, and the interactions between the ocean and the atmosphere. Oceanographers aim to understand the ocean’s role in climate regulation, its impact on weather patterns, and its influence on biodiversity. This field also addresses human impacts on oceanic environments, such as pollution and climate change. Oceanography plays a crucial role in resource management, maritime navigation, and conservation efforts, highlighting the importance of oceans in sustaining life on Earth.
