O ceanography, the science of oceansis the scientific study of all aspects

of the ocean, their boundaries and theircontinents. As such it is an interdiscipli-nary science that integrates principles ofBiology, Chemistry, Geology,Meteorology and Physics. Oceanographyis today of great significance to develop-ing countries. This is an exciting fieldoffering the advantage of being involvedwith a variety of scientific disciplines andan opportunity for lifelong learning.Marine Science/Oceanography is a rela-tively new science. Research conductedin the twentieth century has given the sci-entific world the first global glimpse ofhow the oceans work. It is now knownthat the oceans, atmosphere, solid Earthand living organisms are part of an inter-twined global system. Many oceanogra-phers and limnologists conduct studiesrelated to changes in this global system,both natural changes and those causedby human activities.A career in this field is really a challeng-ing one and it provides opportunity tothose with intrinsic curiosity and a desireto venture into the vast realm of theunknown, which exists within our oceans.The work involves in the areas are col-lecting samples, conducting surveys,analyzing data using sophisticated equip-ment in the sea for long hours. Oceanographers study the motion andcirculation of the ocean waters and theirphysical and chemical properties, andhow these properties affect coastalareas, weather and climate. Often, theyare physicists, chemists, geologists orbiologists who bring their special skills toocean studies. They apply the basic sci-ences to study the world's oceans andcoastal waters. Being essentially aresearch-oriented profession, long peri-ods are spent at the sea with all its chal-lenges and hazards. Depending upon theareas of specialisation the main disciplineof oceanography are; physical oceanog-raphy, geological oceanography, chemi-cal oceanography and marine biology.Educational Qualification

Since this is a specialized field and there-fore requires technical and academicskills. In our country some universitiesoffering bachelor, master and doctoratedegree in oceanography. For admissionto B.Sc. general or honours, 10+2 withscience either in non-medical or medicalsubjects with at least 50% marks isrequired. For master degree, a bachelordegree with marine science/oceanogra-phy as one of the subject is required withminimum 50% marks and for Ph.D. thereis requirement of at least 55% marks inmaster degree. However, the rules foradmission to bachelor, masters andresearch degree vary from university touniversity/institutes. Following coursescan be undertaken in this field:B. Sc. (Marine Sci.), M. Sc. (MarineBiology),M. Sc. (Marine Geology), M. Sc.(Marine Geophysics), M. Sc. (ChemicalOceanography), M. Sc. (PhysicalOceanography), M. Sc. (Meteorology),

M. Sc. (Ocean Life Sciences), M Phil andPh. D. Job Prospects

Career opportunities for ocean profes-sionals are vast as well as varied. Thosewith right qualification can get employ-ment in private sector, public sector andvarious governmental establishments asa engineer, scientist or a technician. Inpublic sector one can find opportunities inOil India. Government sector organisa-tions include Geological Survey of India(GSI), Meteorological Survey of India(MSI), and Department of Oceanographyetc. Many reputed companies in the pri-vate sector with interests in the marineindustries, products or research also pro-vide various job options for ocean profes-sionals. Candidates with skill and abilitycan also choose teaching profession ascareer at higher level in reputed institu-tions as well as govt colleges and univer-sities. Since the study of oceanography oftenexamines in detail all the different disci-plines of oceanography, it is oftendescribed as being an interdisciplinaryscience, or one covering all the disci-plines of science as they apply to theoceans. Thus, some of the most excitingwork and best employment opportunitiescombine two or more of these disciplines.Individuals in oceanography and marine-related fields need a good background inat least one area of basic science (forexample, geology, physics, chemistry, orbiology) or engineering. In almost allcases, mathematics is required as well.Marine archaeology requires a back-ground in archaeology or anthropology;marine policy studies require a back-ground in at least one of the social sci-ences (such as law, economics, or politi-cal science). The careers in this inter-dis-ciplinary field are;Marine Biology: Marine Biology is thefield which studies life processes inmarine environments. They study theocean processes that control the produc-tivity and distribution of marine life. Thisinvolves all aspects of plant and animallife in the sea. Marine biologists study theoccurrence, distribution and developmentof plants and animals and how these areinfluenced by environmental factors.Physical Oceanography: Physicaloceanographers study the physical prop-erties of water such as temperature, saltcontent and density and phenomenasuch as currents, waves and shores.They also study the interaction betweenthe sea and the air above and how it influ-ences the weather and climate. Issuessuch as global warming and the ozonelayer are currently under investigation.Physical oceanographers investigatesuch ocean properties as temperature,density, wave motions, tides, and cur-rents. Remote sensing is one of theimportant areas in this field. This field ofwork looks at the relationship betweenthe sea, the weather and the climate.Geological Oceanography: Geologicaland geophysical oceanographers

describe the shape and material of theseafloor. They involves the study of thesurface and sub-surface, and geologicaland geophysical characteristics ofcoastal margins, for the selection of suit-able locations of marine structures aswell as the exploitation of the oceansmineral resources. They seek to under-stand the origin of seafloor sedimentsand rocks and their patterns in which theyexist. They concerned with the processesinvolved in the formation of the sea floorand coastline, and current processes oferosion, sedimentation and silting.Prospecting for mineral deposits alsooccurs in the marine environment. Marine archaeologists: They involved inthe systematic recovery and study ofmaterial evidence, such as shipwrecks,graves, buildings, tools, and potteryremaining from past human life and cul-ture that is now covered by the sea. Theyrequire a background in archaeology oranthropology.Coastal and Ocean Engineering: Thisis the application of engineering tech-niques to the coastal zone. It is essential-ly a branch of civil engineering whichinterfaces with the marine sciences. Itinvolves the development and mainte-nance of harbours, coastal recreationalfacilities, and inlet pipes for sea-water,effluent outfalls and the general manage-ment of the coastal zone.Marine Chemistry: It deals with the com-position and quality of water. Chemicaloceanographers are interested in the dis-tribution of chemical compounds and themany chemical interactions that occur inthe ocean and the seafloor. The aim is toresearch and develop such technologythat will be able to recover valuable ele-ments from the sea. This area is alsoinvolved in developing methods of solv-ing pollution problems in estuaries near-the-shore waters due to increasing popu-lation and industrial waste. Marine policy experts: They combinetheir knowledge of oceanography andsocial sciences such as law, economics,political science or business to developguidelines and policies for the wise use ofthe ocean and coastal resources. Marinepolicy studies require a background in atleast one of the social sciences.Medical Research: A new area in whichgraduates of oceanography programs,particularly biological oceanography pro-grams, are finding employment is in med-ical research industries, includingbiotechnology. Information from currentresearch is setting the stage for develop-ment of novel drugs that target marineengineers and technicians are needed tomaintain oceanographic observationequipment, such as the complex arraysused in submersibles. Administrative Jobs: Many oceanogra-phers have administrative jobs, eitherwith academic institutions or with govern-ment or private agencies. Theseoceanographers spend more time in the
