Some of the scientific fields involved in oceanography include physical oceanography (study of physical properties of the ocean), chemical oceanography (study of chemical composition and processes in the ocean), biological oceanography (study of marine life and ecosystems), geological oceanography (study of the ocean floor and geological processes), and marine meteorology (study of weather and climate in the ocean).
Oceanographers study the patterns and chemical properties in the ocean. Some types of oceanography include physical oceanography, geological oceanography, chemical oceanography, and biological oceanography.

Oceanography
In its purest form, Oceanography is the study of the oceans. This is far too broad a subject for someone to specialize in, so there are subfields within oceanography. Major ones include chemical oceanography, the study of chemical reactions occurring in the water mass; biological oceanography, the study of the creatures that live in the ocean; and physical oceanography, the study of currents, temperature, sedimentation, and the general physical nature of the ocean. There is, of course, overlap, as specific species like living in specific areas because of the temperature, for instance...
Hydrology is the study of the Earth's water. Hydrology includes geohydrology, limnology, oceanography, chemical oceanography, physical oceanography, biological oceanography, geological oceanography and paleoceanography, amongst other Earth Sciences.
