-
in geochemistry, devoted to understanding the chemistry of the solid Earth and natural waters;
-
in geophysics, concerned with a quantitative description of physical processes in the Earth and planetary sciences;
-
in physical oceanography, the study of ocean currents and waves, and their role in climate;
