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
under standing of processes within it: biology, chemistry, geology,
meteorology, and physics.
It is interdisciplinary
