Oceanography (from the greek words O?ea??? meaning Ocean and ???f? meaning to write), also called oceanology or marine science, is the branch of Earth science that studies the ocean. It covers a wide range of topics, including marine organisms and ecosystem dynamics; ocean currents, waves, and geophysical fluid dynamics; plate tectonics and the geology of the sea floor; and fluxes of various chemical substances and physical properties within the ocean and across its boundaries. These diverse topics reflect multiple disciplines that oceanographers blend to further knowledge of the world ocean and understanding of processes within it biology, chemistry, geology, meteorology, and physics. The study of oceanography is divided into a number of branches These branches reflect the fact that many oceanographers are first trained in the exact sciences or mathematics and then focus on applying their interdisciplinary knowledge, skills and abilities to oceanography.[1] Oceanology is used in Ocean engineering, involved in the design and building of oil platforms, ships, harbors, and other structures that allow us to use the ocean safely.[2]

Coral reefs is a world of different communities living together through a complicated network of ecological interactions. These huge coral reefs are built by a primitive animal called coral or polyp. Growth of that polyp ranges between 3-0.5cm/year except the fast growing species like Acropora hyacinthus (10cm/... (read more)

5. Exploring the Oceans for Oil and Minerals
February 06, 2008
As accessible coastal oil reserves in shallow waters near the shore become exhausted, alternative sources must be continually found. A synthesis of advanced technologies has opened up new frontiers in deeps sea oil and gas explorations. With over 70% of the earth covered in water there is a lot of territory to explore, which makes starting in the right place a paramount issue. Sensors aboard satellites, surface ships, and submarines have helped locate and access oil reserves in areas previously thought impossible to reach. Currently drilling in the Gulf of Mexico is taking place at depths ... (read more)
