Physical Oceanography investigates how and why the water in the oceans move includes marine meteorology (study of heat transfer, water cycles, and air-sea interactions)
Chemical Oceanography the study of the composition and history of seawater, its processes, and its interactions
Biological (Marine Biology) study of marine organisms investigates the relationships between marine organisms, the environment, and the ocean
Engineering Oceanography the discipline of designing and planning equipment for use in the sea
Environmental Oceanography studies the effects of human activities on the ocean environment
