Oceanography & Hydrography

Study of the Oceans

Oceanography and hydrography are important fields of research and application, with significant implications for human society and our planet.

Oceanography is the science that studies the oceans, including water, waves, currents, hydrography, and marine organisms. Oceanography is a very important field, as the oceans cover most of the surface of our planet and significantly influence the climate, the environment and human life.

Hydrography is part of oceanography and is mainly concerned with the measurement and description of oceanic and marine areas, including depths, seabeds, coasts and islands. Hydrography is particularly important for shipping, navigational safety, port development and environmental protection.

Both oceanography and hydrography are important fields of research and application, with significant implications for human society and our planet.
