Science & Technology Opportunity: Oceanographer

Oceanographer Current Vacancies

2007-06-17:

Oceanographers study the seas and oceans, conducting research into the effects of climate change, or the impact of pollution and offshore engineering on marine ecosystems.
Oceanographers use a variety of techniques to collect data, including the use of: remote sensors on satellites; instruments on towed or self-powered submersibles; apparatus on moored or drifting buoys; probes lowered into the sea; drilling into the seabed and acoustics.
marine biology - the study of marine plants and animals - marine chemistry - the study of the chemical composition of seawater marine physics - the study of properties such as water temperature and density, wave motion, tides and currents. specialisms in order to conclude their research.
Hours worked will depend on the project being undertaken.
Oceanographers may have to go into the sea using diving equipment or submersible vehicles.
Environment Research Council. Southampton Oceanography Centre - Centre for Coastal Marine Sciences
Sea Mammal Research Unit - British Antarctic Survey - British Geological Survey.
Other national organisations that employ oceanographers include environmental protection agencies, the Royal Navy, the Ministry of Defence MoD, the Environment Agency and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs DEFRA.
Opportunities also arise in industries or consultancies concerned with the extraction of offshore oil and gas, offshore and coastal constructions and marine instrumentation. Experienced geologists earn around 30,000 per year (Permalink)
