Oceanography is an interdisciplinary science that incorporates geology, biology, chemistry, physics, and engineering. Because there is so much to learn and know, oceanographers generally specialize in specific subdisciplines of oceanography.

In this lesson, students analyze the chemical concentrations in ice core field data from the U.S.

Side effects of global warming and carbon dioxide emmisions are being discovered at a rapid pace. This report from Geophysical Research Letters, explains how marine life and marine physics are being affected by the acidification of oceans. Oceans acidify by absorbing carbon dioxidie from the atmosphere.
