Oceanographic expeditions
Oceanographic expeditions are specialized research journeys into the ocean to study its physical, chemical, biological, and geological features. Scientists and explorers use ships, submarines, and advanced equipment to collect data on marine life, water properties, seafloor structures, and ocean currents. These expeditions improve our understanding of ocean processes, climate change, and marine ecosystems, providing vital information for conservation, resource management, and scientific knowledge. They often involve international collaboration and can range from short research cruises to multi-year explorations of remote deep-sea environments.
