Where do oceanographers study?

Oceanographers study all aspects of the seas. That's a big topic, too much for one person! There are subgroups of oceanographers - four main ones in all. Some focus on the ocean's physical processes such as currents or interactions between the ocean and the atmosphere. Some study the chemistry of seawater, analyzing its components and properties. Others study the ocean's biology, and how oceanic conditions control the distribution and abundance of marine organisms. Still others focus on the geology of the ocean floor from the coastline to the abyssal plains.

In which case the answer is the same: seawater is denser ... but not as dramatically, and the difference is small enough that you're unlikely to actually notice it unless you take careful measurements.
