Marine Geophysics

Marine Geophysics is the study of the physical properties and processes of the Earth's oceans and seafloor using various scientific techniques. It encompasses areas like seafloor mapping, seismic imaging, and the analysis of marine sediments to understand geological structures, tectonic activity, and environmental changes. This field helps us learn about underwater earthquakes, ocean currents, and resource distribution, contributing to our knowledge of climate change and marine ecosystems. By combining geophysics and oceanography, marine geophysics plays a vital role in managing and protecting our oceanic environments.
