Oceanography is the scientific study and exploration of the global ocean in all its aspects. This “young” science has developed fairly late in human history (compared to medicine or mathematics, for instance). In fact, more people have traveled into outer space than into the deep ocean. The most exciting discoveries in oceanography are yet to come.
“Virtual Apprentice: Oceanographer” immerses you in the most mysterious environment on Earth. Join the scientists who explore this vast and largely unexplored frontier, whether from the deck of a research vessel or a computer lab on dry land.
Travel down into the deepest trench on the ocean floor and visit ghostly shipwrecks and weird “black smokers” towering above the seabed. Meet bizarre creatures that have adapted for life in different marine environments. Jump into the Virtual Apprentice experience for a day full of oceanographic challenges.
Discover how some oceanographers are trying to protect the ocean’s food supply while others are seeking alternative energy sources beneath the waves. Find out about the biggest challenges facing oceanographers in the coming decades, and learn what you can do to help preserve the oceans that sustain all life on Planet Earth.
