* Physical Oceanography - study of the motions of seawater, particularly waves currents and tidal motion. * Chemical Oceanography - chemistry of seawater and reactions between the atmosphere and hydrosphere. More recently looks at how changes in seawater temperature (El Nino) and salinity affect global climate. * Biological Oceanography - study of life in the oceans, includes marine Biology and ecology. * Geological Oceanography - study of the shape and geologic features of the ocean floor.

What is the science that deals with the dynamics of the ocean?
Generally, the study of oceans is Oceanography. Specifically, the study of waves and currents is Physical Oceanography, one of the four branches of Oceanography; Physical, Chemical, Biological, and Geological. The study of waves and currents is often confused with Astronomy, since they are caused by the moon; however, the study of the effect is classified under Physical Oceanography.
