Aquatic science is the study of the various bodies of water that make up our planet including oceanic and freshwater environments. Aquatic scientists study the movement of water,the chemistry of water,aquatic organisms,aquatic ecosystems,the movement of materials in and out of aquatic ecosystems,and the use of water by humans,among other things. Aquatic scientists examine current processes as well as historic processes,and the water bodies that they study can range from tiny areas measured in millimeters to full oceans. Moreover,aquatic scientists work in Interdisciplinary groups. For example,a physical oceanographer might work with a biological oceanographer to understand how physical processes,such as tropical cyclones or rip currents,affect organisms in the Atlantic Ocean. Chemists and biologists,on the other hand,might work together to see how the chemical makeup of a certain body of water affects the plants and animals that reside there. Aquatic scientists can work to tackle global problems such as global oceanic change and local problems,such as trying to understand why a drinking water supply in a certain area is polluted.
