What will you do after graduating from marine science?

The employment orientation of marine science graduates is as follows:

Employment direction of marine science major: after graduation, you can engage in marine scientific research, marine resources investigation and development, marine environmental monitoring, marine resources management, marine environmental protection, physical research, fisheries, and development of marine detection and monitoring instruments.

The employment direction of this major also covers many other industries, such as atmospheric science, geological exploration, meteorological work, general biology teaching in related schools, electronic technology industry and so on.

Marine science is to study the natural phenomena, properties and changing laws of the ocean, and the knowledge system related to the development and utilization of the ocean. Its research object is the ocean that accounts for 7 1% of the earth's surface, including seawater, substances dissolved and suspended in seawater, creatures living in the ocean, seabed sediments and seabed lithosphere, as well as the atmospheric boundary layer and estuary coastal zone on the sea surface.

The research field of marine science is very extensive, including the basic research of physical, chemical, biological and geological processes in the ocean, as well as the development and utilization of marine resources and the applied research of marine military activities. Because of the integrity of the ocean itself, the complexity of the interaction of various natural processes in the ocean and the similarity of main research methods and means, marine science has become a highly comprehensive science.

Research characteristics

Information theory, cybernetics, system theory and other methods are playing an increasingly important role in marine scientific research. The observation of marine science is mainly carried out under natural conditions and cannot but be limited by natural conditions. Some marine phenomena and processes are "time-shifted", some are "boundless", and some time scales are too long for short-term observation data to reveal their historical evolution laws.

Direct observation of various phenomena in the ocean under natural conditions is its basic research method. The world ocean is a huge and complex natural object, in which various movements of different scales and properties are taking place. Their spatial scale can range from a few centimeters to thousands of kilometers, and their time scale can range from a few seconds to months or even years. The time scale of deep cycle can reach thousands of years.
