A Peer-Reviewed Open Access International Journal abbreviated CDO
The Current Development in Oceanography is a fully refereed open-access international journal, which publishes original research articles, critical survey articles, short notes, case study of the world's oceans, including their biology, chemistry, physics, geology, and meteorology. Subfields of oceanography:
- Physical oceanography: Focuses on the physical conditions and processes in the ocean
- Chemical oceanography: Marine chemistry, this field studies the chemistry of the sea
- Biological oceanography: Marine biology or marine ecology, this field studies the organisms that live in the ocean
- Geological oceanography: Marine geology, this field studies the formation and evolution of the ocean basins
- Benthic oceanography: Studies the ecosystems found on the surface of the seabed
- Demersal oceanography: Studies the living organisms that live near the seabed
Oceanography's applications: Oceanographers can help predict future changes in global temperature and issue warnings about sea-level rise.
Related disciplines: Marine biogeochemistry is a broad, interdisciplinary subject that overlaps a range of other disciplines such as marine chemistry, geochemistry, ecology, and oceanography.
