Oceanography courses can help you learn about marine ecosystems, ocean currents, and the impact of climate change on oceans. You can build skills in data collection, analysis of oceanographic data, and understanding marine biodiversity. Many courses introduce tools like Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing technologies, that support mapping ocean features and monitoring environmental changes. Additionally, you may explore methods for conducting field research and using statistical software to interpret ocean data.
