Oceanography: The Study of Oceans

By Theobald Lane

Oceanography is an interdisciplinary scientific field that studies the biological, chemical, physical, and geological aspects of the ocean and is considered a sub-discipline of Earth science. This field encompasses a wide range of topics, including geophysical fluid dynamics, plate tectonics, ocean currents, and ecosystem dynamics. Oceanography is traditionally divided into four primary sub-disciplines: chemical oceanography, biological oceanography, physical oceanography, and geological oceanography. Oceanographic research is applied across numerous fields, such as geography, climatology, chemistry, biology, astronomy, and hydrology. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts in the field of oceanography. It is compiled in such a manner that it will provide in-depth knowledge about the theory and practice of the discipline. For someone with an interest and eye for detail, this book covers the most significant topics in this field.
