Oceanographers seek to understand the Earth’s oceans, seas, and waterways. They study the water’s physical, chemical, biological, and geological properties to gain insights into how these features impact the planet. Oceanographers investigate the phenomena that occur in both coastal and deep-ocean settings, and they analyze the characteristics of underwater currents, tides, waves, and other oceanographic features.
Education and Training
Oceanographers typically hold a bachelor’s degree in a natural science discipline such as biology, chemistry, geology, environmental science, or oceanography. Some positions may require a master’s or doctoral degree. Coursework generally includes classes in math, physics, chemistry, biology, earth science, and oceanography. Oceanographers typically gain practical experience through internships and research projects.
