Oceanography
Marine Physics – or Physical Oceanography – is the Earth science concerned with the description of the physical state of the ocean. This includes the study of physical processes controlling the motion and properties of ocean waters and the influence of the ocean on the atmosphere and the climate.
At the Department of Marine Sciences, world-class research is being made to further our knowledge and understanding of how the global ocean operates and how it varies on different time and spatial scales, from the smallest turbulent eddies to the world ocean circulation.
The Department offers one of the most comprehensive environment in Europe to carry out research in Physical Oceanography, with access to marine infrastructures such as the state-of-the-art R/V Skagerak, and the research station Kristineberg Center for marine research and innovation.
