Oceanography
is a program that focuses on the scientific study of
the chemical components, mechanisms, structure, and
movement of ocean waters and their interaction with
terrestrial and atmospheric phenomena. Includes
instruction in material inputs and outputs, chemical
and biochemical transformations in marine systems,
equilibrium studies, inorganic and organic ocean
chemistry, oceanographic processes, sediment
transport, zone processes, circulation, mixing,
tidal movements, wave properties, and seawater
properties.
