Best Apps to Become an Oceanographer
When you think about choosing a career, do you see yourself studying marine life and learning more about them? If so, maybe you're ready to become an oceanographer. We'll look at some apps that can help you on your way.
If you are someone who loves the ocean and the beach, and would love to become an oceanographer, the first thing that you want to do is to take some oceanography courses. Thankfully, it doesn't mean that you have to go to a college campus anymore. Coursera is one of the best-known apps that allows you to take courses using your phone or tablet, and the app offers an oceanography course.
Along with taking courses using your phone, it's also a good idea to learn a bit about the creatures who live in the ocean. One of the best apps, especially if you are interested in sharks, is Shark Tracker. There are other apps where you can listen to whales, so that you can learn more about these beautiful and fascinating creatures. There are so many types of fish and other types of marine life about which you can learn.
Finally, one of the best things that you can do is to travel to different places in the world and experience different types of marine life. One of the most beautiful places to see gorgeous coral and marine life is in Australia and the Great Barrier Reef. Of course, if you are going to Australia to see the ocean and go to the beach, you'll want to download BeachSafe to know what the current conditions are so that you can enjoy your trip. Take some pictures and maybe even go snorkeling. There's no reason you can't have some fun and be productive at the same time.

Oceanography is one of the more complex natural sciences. Consisting of 5 different branches - biological, chemical, geological, physical, and paleoceanography - it takes a while to master. edX is a good way to obtain a pretty decent understanding of it in a matter of weeks.

I love shark movies, and I love this app. It's so cool to be able to track the sharks and see where they are when you are at the beach. Of course, it can be a bit hairy if you know there's 1-2 sharks in the area, but it's still fun to use.
