An oceanographer uses science and mathematics to explain the complex interactions between seawater, fresh water, polar ice caps, the atmosphere and the biosphere.

The role involves solving problems related to mineral exploitation, shipping, fisheries, coastal construction, pollution, weather prediction and climate change.

Most oceanographers undertake marine studies in multidisciplinary teams and may specialise as:

* marine geologists, who study the ocean basins; * marine chemists, who determine the chemical composition of water or sediments; * marine physicists, who measure the properties of currents, waves and tides; * marine biologists, who describe marine life and how organisms interact with their environment. You need to also know how to swim or you will drown:( lol

It is also someone that would probably want to learn how to Scuba dive(from spelling book)!
