Welcome to Texas A&M Oceanography
The Department of Oceanography provides exceptional interdisciplinary teaching and research in biological oceanography, chemical oceanography, geological oceanography and physical oceanography. 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 and a reliance on the oceans.
Our faculty and students strategically collaborate with ocean scientists throughout the Texas A&M University System, including the Marine Biology and Marine and Coastal Environmental Sciences departments at Texas A&M Galveston, the Texas A&M Geochemical and Environmental Research Group (GERG), the Gulf of Mexico Coastal Ocean Observing System (GCOOS), the Gulf Coast Core Repository and Texas Sea Grant.
