Marine geology or geological oceanography is the study of the history and structure of the ocean floor. It involves geophysical, geochemical, sedimentological and paleontological investigations of the ocean floor and coastal zone. Marine geology has strong ties to physical oceanography.
Marine geological studies were of extreme importance in providing the critical evidence for sea floor spreading and plate tectonics in the years following World War II. The deep ocean floor is the last essentially unexplored frontier and detailed mapping in support of both military (submarine) objectives and economic (petroleum and metal mining) objectives drives the research.
The Ring of Fire around the Pacific Ocean with its attendant intense volcanism and seismic activity poses a major threat for disastrous earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions. Any early warning systems for these disastrous events will require a more detailed understanding of marine geology of coastal and island arc environments.

An overview of research carried out by the Marine Geology department at the Center for Coastal Studies, Provincetown MA.
Each Maymester the Jackson School of Geosciences offers a field course designed to provide hands-on instruction for graduate and upper-level undergraduate students in the collection and processing of marine geological and geophysical (MG&G;) data. Produced by Nancy Ford/Midden Media.
When she was very young, Danielle Sumy’s experience on the Earthquake ride at Universal Studios launched her quest to understand how earthquakes happen. Here she describes how this encounter and her early love of science motivated her to become a geophysicist. Video produced by McLean Media.

This is Marine Geology folks! Its fun, its entertaining, and its a great way to earn a living. Marine geology is the study of rocks in the ocean and boy is it fun so watch and learn about marine geology.
Fieldwork from a 5 day trip to Stewart Island for OCEN323 (Marine Geology & Geophysics). The paper is run by the Marine Science Department at the University of Otago. Work was based on the RV Polaris II. We used Boomer and CHIRP for our geophysical surveys, and this was complemented by grab sampling, gravity coring, and piston coring to sample the sediments.
