4. 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: astronomy, biology, chemistry,
climatology, geography, geology, hydrology, meteorology and physics.

6. Physical oceanography is the study of
physical conditions and physical
processes within the ocean, especially
the motions and physical properties of
ocean waters.
• Physical settings
Temperature,salinity,Density
• Ocean Circulation
• Ocean-Atmosphere interference
• Climate variabilities
• Ocean currents
• Heat flux,
• Rapid variations- Tide,Tsunamis,surface waves 6

7. 7
Chemical Oceanography is
fundamentally interdisciplinary. The
chemistry of the ocean is closely tied to
ocean circulation, climate, the plants
and animals that live in the ocean, and
the exchange of material with the
atmosphere, cryosphere, continents,
and mantle.

8. 8
• Plankton
• Marine Mammals
• Biodiversity & Conservation
• Role of microbes in food webs
• Physical & Chemical factors influencing distribution
Biological oceanography or marine
biology, the study of the plants and
animals (biota) of the oceans and their
ecological interaction

9. 9
• Sedimentology
• Structure of the Ocean floor, plate tectonic,
• Underwater earthquake, Tsunamis
• Oil recovery, deep sea mining
• Coastal morphology, Sea level change
• Paleoceanography
Marine geology or geological
oceanography is the study of the
history and structure of the ocean floor.
It involves geophysical, geochemical,
sedimentological and paleontological
investigations of the ocean floor and
coastal zone. Marine geology has
strong ties to geophysics and to
physical oceanography.

10. 10
• geological research
• benthic habitat research
• Sea floor Mapping
• safety of navigation
• Studies of the Oceanic Lithosphere: The Sedimentary
Cover.
• Studies of Subduction Zones.
Marine geophysics is a scientific
discipline which uses the quantitative
observation of physical properties to
understand the seafloor and sub-
seafloor geology. Both active and
passive sensors are used to measure
the shape and hardness of the seafloor
as well as to define and map sub-
seafloor structures.

11. 11
• Learning about underwater environment
• Sounding weight
• The Challenger expedition
Deep-sea exploration is the
investigation of physical, chemical, and
biological conditions on the sea bed, for
scientific or commercial purposes. The
ocean depths still remain a largely
unexplored part of the planet, and form
a relatively undiscovered domain.

15. 15
• Sea Surface Temperature
• Bottom water temperature
• Salinity, ocean circulation
• Acidity ,pH,Alakalinity
• Paleoclimatology
Paleoceanography is the study of the
history of the oceans in the geologic
past with regard to circulation,
chemistry, biology, geology and
patterns of sedimentation and
biological productivity.

16. 16
• Coastal Aquaculture
• Taxonomy of Marine Fish
• Marine Fisheries resources of India
• Fish Preservation & Processing
Fisheries science is the academic
discipline of managing and
understanding fisheries Aquaculture,
also known as aquafarming, is the
farming of fish, crustaceans, molluscs,
aquatic plants, algae, and other
organisms.

34. The 68-year-old former astronaut descended with explorer Victor Vescovo, who funded the expedition, in a
submersible named Limiting Factor. The specially designed submersible can withstand 2,425 tons of
pressure on its titanium hull. Limiting Factor is the first vehicle that has repeatedly gone to the bottom of the
ocean, according to EYOS.
