Marine scientists work within a variety of disciplines including biology, ecology, chemistry, geology, fisheries, aquaculture, meteorology, oceanography, palaeontology, physics and mathematics. Critical questions about the function, biodiversity, sustainable exploitation and conservation of oceans require scientists to work together in order to solve complex problems. The University of Tasmania offers students of Marine Science unique opportunities and access to field sites and specialist equipment for studying the marine environment, including boats, diving equipment and aquaria.
