According to the Spruce website, this month is “Expanding Girls' Horizons in Science and Engineering Month”. And according to the WOS blog calendar, this month’s topic is also oceanography. I thought I utilize this opportunity to explain the different types of oceanography for anyone thinking of going into the field or switching careers.

Meet Ariel Pezner, a third year PhD student at Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) at the University of California San Diego whom is a biological oceanographer.

I grew up nowhere near the sea! As I was finishing college and thinking about going to university, I don’t think I’d ever really thought about marine science being a thing that anyone did, never mind physical oceanography.
