The ocean is a vast and mysterious world, covering over 70% of the Earth's surface. It is home to an incredible diversity of life and plays a vital role in our planet's climate and atmosphere. In our Oceanography: Ocean Exploration course, you will learn about all aspects of the ocean, from its physical and chemical properties to its geological features and marine life. You will also explore the human impact on the ocean and how we can work to conserve it.
Starting with a riveting introduction that sets the stage, your voyage will continue, charting a course through the intricate pathways of physical, chemical, and geological oceanography. The dance of molecules, the age-old stones beneath the waves, and the currents that intertwine with our planet's heartbeat await your curious gaze. As you approach the culmination of your journey, the myriad lifeforms of biological oceanography will leap into your viewfinder, each a marvel in its own right.
Yet, every tale has its sombre notes. Understanding our impact becomes vital as humanity's footprint on these pristine waters grows heavier. The final section will elucidate our relationship with the deep, emphasising the urgent call for ocean conservation. It's more than a course; it's a clarion call urging you to become the guardian of our marine heritage.
