The Department of Oceanography provides exceptional interdisciplinary teaching and research in the fields of ocean climate, marine ecosystem science and health, ocean observing science and technology and ocean energy. By advancing discovery and understanding of the ocean sciences, technology and resources, we are preparing the next generation of citizens and ocean scientists for the challenges facing a growing human population with limited resources.
Our faculty and students strategically collaborate with ocean scientists throughout the Texas A&M University System, including the Marine Biology and Marine Sciences departments at Texas A&M Galveston, the Texas A&M Geochemical and Environmental Research Group, the International Ocean Discovery Program and Texas Sea Grant.
