It's the study of how fluids move around. For example when a fluid is flowing through a pipe, is it turbulent, how fast is it moving. It can be applied to lots of things, like how the air flows over a planes wing, how much force is acting on a dam.

What is the difference between Geological Engineering and Engineering Geology?

Rule of thumb - first word describes the second Geological Engineering - A specialization within the field of engineering. This course of study incorporates many aspects of civil and mining engineering, with some geology and hydrology topics mixed in. Engineering Geology - Geology based, specifically as related to engineering applications. This includes hydrology, geophysics, rock mechanics, and geotechnics. This would likely involve much more geology than engineering however. Both Geological Engineering as well as Engineering Geology can be studied at the undergraduate level (B.S. / BSc) in addition to (in various forms at the) graduate level (M.S. / MSc). One observation I have noted through personal experience and research is that a person with a Geo. Eng. degree is far more likely to be viewed as an "engineer" as compared to a "geologist" with the alternative option.

How is hydrology like oceanography?

Hydrology is like oceanography in that both involve the study of currents and their effect overall on the bodies of ocean water. Hydrology is different because unlike oceanography, it deals solely with the movement of the water.
