While over 70% of the globe is covered by oceans, much of it remains a mystery. Its vast size, depth and power entice scientists to uncover the many secrets it holds. Oceanography is extremely multidisciplinary, covering the physics, chemistry, geology and biology of the world's oceans. No understanding of Earth's climate or the chemical cycles essential to life is complete without understanding the basics of oceanography. In this program we’ll learn about ocean ecosystems as well as marine life, currents and the impact they have on climate and humankind’s existence.
