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.

This video by National Geographic shows how scientists are using new technologies to predict the impact earthquakes will have on urban areas in the near future. Try incorporating this video into an Earth Science of Physics lesson. This video not only shows how buildings react during earthquakes, but also shows how objects within the structure behave.

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.
