Exploring Career Opportunities in Oceanography: A Comprehensive Overview

This project delves into the diverse field of oceanography, exploring its various branches and the career opportunities within. Students will learn about oceanography—also known as marine science—and investigate its sub-disciplines, including biological, physical, chemical, and geological oceanography. By understanding the roles of oceanographers, students will brainstorm potential careers and participate in hands-on assignments, including drawing illustrations of different oceanographer types. Join us as we unravel the fascinating world of aquatic sciences!

Presentation Transcript

  1. Warm Up/Starter • If you had to guess, what careers do you think are available in the aquatic science field? • Label in Table of Contents of journal and brainstorm what you think

  2. Objective • Given a lecture, you will investigate the different branches of oceanography and career opportunities available.

  3. Breakdown: What is oceanography?? • Also called marine science or oceanology • Definition: A branch of Earth science that revolves around the study of oceans • Oceanography covers a wide range of topics, including marine life and ecosystems, ocean circulation, plate tectonics and the geology of the sea floor, and the chemical and physical properties of the ocean

  4. What is an oceanographer? • An oceanographer is a scientist that studies different aspects of the seas • Physical and biological http://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/oceanographer.html

  5. Sub-divisions of Oceanography Different types of Oceanographers

  6. Biological Oceanographers • Also called: • Marine biologists • Fisheries scientists • Currently the • Most well known • Most popular • Most competitive

  7. Biological Oceanographers study: • Sustainable seafood harvesting • Plants and animals responses to pollution • Use of natural ocean resources for • Industry • Medical products • DNA, molecular, and cellular processes of marine organisms

  8. Physical oceanographers study: • Ocean temperature • Effects on water density • Wave motions and interactions with sea floor • Tides • Ocean currents • Movement of light and sound through water

  9. Chemical oceanographers /marine geochemists study: • Sea water chemicals • Effects of pollutants • Chemical reactions in marine ecosystems • Desalinization processes • Movement of trace chemicals • Help in learning ocean currents

  10. Geological oceanographers /geophysicists study: • Properties of rocks of the ocean floor • Plate tectonics of the ocean floor • Marine topography • Underwater mountain ranges and valleys • Information to increase knowledge about our Earth’s history.

  11. Out • Draw a picture in your out section illustrating what each type of oceanographer we learned about today studies. Each picture must be labeled with the oceanographer name.

  12. Oceanographer project • Assign project for Oceanographer types • Hand out syllabus • Due when?
