Physical Oceanography involves an understanding of the mathematical equations that describe fluid flow, and how these are used in the context of the oceans. Students gain an understanding of what controls coastal ocean currents, water-mass formation, upwelling, storm surges and large-scale ocean flow. They also learn about the dynamics of a range of ocean processes, including waves, tides, beach currents and the El-Nino/Southern Oscillation. A background in oceanography can be applied to disciplines such as climatology, the dynamics of marine populations and the dynamic structure of marine and coastal habitats. Physical Oceanography is essential to understanding climate change and global warming. At UNSW Sydney it is a research focus of the Climate Change Research Centre (CCRC) and the marine science group in the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences.
