Talk:Oceanography
From Academic Kids
It would be nice to have more of an international perspective on the history of Oceanography (e.g. how does Britain or Australia approach Oceanography? Do they have grant sytems? Major scientific stations?). Also, a technical overview of the science would be nice.
==============================
First (briefly) yes, there are Federal grants to support oceanography in Britain and every major country. Most basic oceanography is "basic science," and requires either a federal grant or a very rich oceanographer.
I notice that most of your oceanography links are to Woods Hole or to Scripps. Those are great places. You might also add links to a host of other institutions, many of which are given on my web page on the lower section:
warning: several of the links on the top half of the page (to specific projects) are no longer working, as that programmer moved away and has not yet been replaced.
