Oceanographer and marine biologist are two different careers that study different aspects of the ocean and its inhabitants.
An oceanographer is a scientist who studies the physical and chemical properties of the ocean, including the movement of ocean currents and waves, the distribution of temperature and salinity, and the behavior of ocean organisms. They also study the ocean’s role in climate and weather, and the impact of human activities on the ocean. They use a variety of tools and techniques, including ships, submarines, and satellites, to collect data and make observations.
On the other hand, Marine biologists are scientists who study the plants and animals that live in the ocean. They study the behavior, physiology and ecology of marine organisms, including fish, mammals, and invertebrates. They also study the interactions between different marine species and between marine species and their environment. They may use a variety of tools and techniques, such as SCUBA diving and remote sensing, to collect data and make observations.
Both careers require a strong background in science and mathematics, and both may involve fieldwork and laboratory research. However, the specific skills and knowledge required for each career are different.
