An oceanographer will study many different things - there is no limit, really. I cannot list all here, however, I can tell you that some may study the characteristics of sediments or sea water, other may try to examine the ocean floor and what it exactly contains (or how it is formed), some may study the effects of winds and currents, others may even study areas at the North or South pole, and so on. Then some might even study marine life (i.e. fish, crustescans, mircoorganisms, etc) to see the impact that organisms have on the ocean. Volcanoes and chemistry can be studied as well.
