What does it take to work in oceanography?
Our take
I'm a recently graduated software engineer with a comp sci bachelors and have always had some interest in the ocean. Company just did layoffs and I've been feeling the desire to explore things I'm more interested in as I become more disillusioned with the industry I joined(too early in life for this?). In my free time these days I've been looking into institutions like mbari and whoi and thought they seemed like interesting and fulfilling places to work. I'm wondering what it would take to be able to work at a place like those with my background and what path I would need to take? I think working on those ocean robots is super cool and I'd love to be involved in studying ocean creatures!

- For any researches here—what does your research look like?Hi! I am a college student planning to transfer into an oceanography bachelor's degree program next year. I realized recently, that although I am totally set on going into oceanography, I don't actually know much about what kinds of research could be in my future! So I thought I might ask: what kinds of research have you all on this sub seen/done, and what was the process like? And also, what is it like to work as an oceanographer/anything adjacent right now? submitted by /u/greenscholar914 [link] [comments]
- Geomatics engineering to oceanographyHello everyone, I’m currently studying Geoinformatics Engineering in a five-year program. The curriculum is quite broad, covering everything from GIS to programming, without focusing on a specific domain like urban planning or environmental studies. This flexibility allows us to apply geomatics technologies across various fields. I’ve always been passionate about the ocean and the technologies used to study it. Because of this, I’m planning to pursue a master’s degree in Ocean Data Acquisition and Processing. I’m particularly interested in how geomatics intersects with marine sciences, including remote sensing, hydrography, and data analytics for ocean monitoring. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this path! What are the job prospects in this field? Are there any specific skills or technologies I should focus on to improve my career opportunities? If anyone has experience working in ocean-related geomatics, I’d really appreciate your insights. Looking forward to your advice! submitted by /u/AdnanHollow [link] [comments]
