Oceanographers and their instruments

     FLIP
             

     Biological Oceanographer- Biological Oceanographers use tools such as microscopes and nets in order to obtain and study the plants and animals inhabiting the ocean.
   
     Chemical Oceanographers- use satellites in order to study the wind, waves, tides and currents of the ocean.

     Geological Oceanographers- study the physical features of the ocean floor using sonar which they use to aid them in making bathymetric maps.

     Geophysical Oceanographers- Study oil below the ocean floor with the aid of drilling ships

     Oceanographic Engineers- Make instruments such as FLIP (seen above) to aid oceanographers in their research
