marine science
Ocean study field
Marine science is the study of oceans and seas—their physical properties, chemical composition, geology, and living organisms.
The field encompasses oceanography, marine biology, coastal ecology, and related disciplines.
Also called ocean science or oceanography, though oceanography sometimes refers specifically to physical and chemical aspects rather than biological ones.
