21. Biological Sciences Marine biology graduates go on to careers in academic research in ecology and marine biology careers are discussed at Careers Jobs in Marine Biology http://www.auburn.edu/academic/science_math/biology/ugmajors.html

Botany and Zoology These two fields of biological science are centered on organism-based studies. Such research ranges from behavioral interactions of individual organisms within populations to the structure and function of complex communities. The primary aim of botanical and zoological studies is to understand how organisms survive and reproduce within the limits imposed by the current or past environments. Such research can be at refined scales, such as microscopic observation of the smallest organisms, to broad scales, such as unraveling earth history through examination of fossil remains. Students focusing on botanical or zoological studies typically receive training in cell biology, anatomy, physiology, embryology, genetics, conservation science, ethology, ecology, and evolution. This background can be used as a springboard to further training in medicine or graduate education. Tracks: A degree in Botany can follow one of two tracks . The track in Cell and Molecular Biology is designed for those interested in using their undergraduate experience for careers in medically-related professions or for a graduate career in medical or molecular sciences. The track in Ecology and Evolution is designed for those interested in graduate training in plant diversity. A degree in Zoology can follow one of four tracks . For those interested in using their undergraduate training for immediate employment, the track in Conservation and Biodiversity is designed to prepare students for jobs in government and private conservation organizations or the environmental consulting industry. Three tracks are offered for those interested in preparing for advanced education. The Cell and Molecular Biology track is designed for those interested in medical-related training (medical or pharmacy school), the Pre-Vet track is designed to prepare students for entry into Vet School, and the Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior track is designed for those interested in graduate education.

CAREERS IN MARINE BIOLOGY What Marine Biologists Do Marine Biology as a Career More recently there has been an increased awareness among citizens, as well as among governmental and corporate decision-makers, that environmental studies will result in recognizable benefits to the public and that they deserve to be supported. Examples of problems that prompted this awareness are unfortunately familiar: serious reductions in stocks of harvested species, major oil spills, human-originated debris washing up on beaches, and major environmental problems arising in heavily impacted estuaries like Chesapeake Bay. Conflicting needs and limited resources quite clearly necessitate a more educated management of the environment. At present, the job market is still tight, but the prospects for well-trained professionals in Marine Biology are on the rise. Marine Biology at the College of Charleston To be professionally successful in marine biology, it is advisable to attend graduate school after you complete your undergraduate education. Perhaps unexpectedly, a majority of marine biologists had no training in marine biology as undergraduates; they did not obtain their Bachelor's degrees in Marine Biology, Marine Science, or Oceanography. Typically, a marine biologist received a Bachelor's degree in Biology. A concentration in marine biology usually began in graduate school. Each Marine Biology major completes a minimum of 34 semester hours in biology in addition to courses in chemistry, geology, physics, mathematics, and the liberal arts. The first biology course (required of all majors) is a two-semester foundations course which serves to introduce students to the underlying principles of biology. Following the introductory course, individual programs of study are planned by students and their advisors. Some students also have the opportunity to do a research project for academic credit before graduating.

CAREERS IN MARINE BIOLOGY: OUTLOOKS The Southwest Fisheries Science Center of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Service in La Jolla, California, often gets requests for information on marine biology careers. The following was prepared in answer to the most frequently asked questions. WHAT DOES A MARINE BIOLOGIST/SCIENTIST DO? Although many people today are familiar with the term "marine biologist," most don't realize that, in reality, the job title of marine biologist rarely exists. The term is actually used for many disciplines and jobs in the marine sciences which deal with the study of marine life, not just for those which deal with the physical properties of the seathough many biologists study both. So a marine biologist might be a biological technician, ichthyologist, fishery biologist, marine mammalogist, microbiologist, systems analyst, or a mathematician. Even economists and sociologists, who deal with living marine resource issues, are found within the so-called field of marine biology. In addition, other marine scientists concern themselves exclusively with the physical and chemical aspects of the sea, such as physicists, hydrologists, and physical oceanographers.

Research Many researchers work at colleges and universities, where they also teach. Industry employs research biologists in fields such as biotechnology, drug development, and food processing. Some research biologists work for the government, where they aim to protect and restore the environment, breed better crops, fight human and animal diseases, evaluate food and drug safety, or work on space missions. Researchers attend seminars, read scientific journals, and write articles to tell others about their results. Some travel to exotic places to do their work. Researchers often need help from skilled people trained in biology. Laboratory technicians help carry out experiments; they often become experts at taking field measurements, manipulating cells, handling animals and chemicals, or using sophisticated instruments. Health Care Health care workers apply biological knowledge to keep people healthy or return sick people to health. Physicians, dentists, nurses, medical technicians, and physician's assistants all must have a solid biology background. Some health care professionals work directly with patients; others may devise public health campaigns to defeat illnesses such as tuberculosis, AIDS, cancer, and heart disease. Some work to prevent the spread of rare, deadly diseases like that caused by the now infamous Ebola virus.

Marine Biology Web Page Becoming a Marine Biologist What is marine biology and what is a marine biologist? I Want to Train Dolphins and Whales Here's my advice. Love dolphins and whales. Admire their beauty and their grace as they swim and move through their scores of exciting behavioral maneuvers. Worry about the whales, for many of them are in danger. Support organizations that try to conserve whales. Okay. Now please keep in mind that there are VERY FEW people in the world who study whales or other marine mammals! Same thing for dolphin trainers. Yes there are many public aquaria in the United States, but the number of people that work with dolphins as trainers are also very few. Most emails I get start with "I have always wanted to be a dolphin trainer." Fine, but you better keep your options open, just the way aspiring rock stars usually have a "day job." If every person who wanted to study dolphins went on to do so, then just about every dolphin would have its own personal observer! You are in a vast company because everyone loves dolphins. The important point is: MARINE BIOLOGY IS A LOT MORE THAN DOLPHINS. There are many important areas that you can study. Dolphins are an important part, but only a part, of the universe of marine biology. (Same goes for you shark fans.) If you truly wanted to do research on marine mammals you could enter this field through one of two routes. First, you could become a biology major in college, taking courses in vertebrate biology, physiology and evolution. Most marine mammalogists were biology majors in college. As an alternative, you could become a veterinarian, with the ultimate hope of understanding mammalian anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry, and understanding the biology of mammals and their ailments. This would be a very rare route, although an interesting one.

Creatures of the Deep Two hundred miles out to sea, Tonie Chute checks that she is tethered securely to her research vessel and then goes to the deck's edge to help guide an 800-pound sampling net into the water. The net's fine mesh traps the tiny plankton, samples of which Chute and other marine biologists will analyze in the National Marine Fisheries Service laboratory back on shore as they investigate the effects of global warming on fish populations. "I chose this work because I wanted to be outside and get really dirty, something I try to remember when I'm cold and frightened," said Chute. The job has a surprising element of romance in it, such as being able to witness every ocean sunset and sunrise when her schedule calls for her to sleep during the day and work at night.

WomenOceanographers.org Home About Us Site Map ... Featured Career ... Amy Bower Amy Bower Associate Scientist, Physical Oceanography Woods Hole Oceanographic Instituion View full profile … The world’s oceans are in constant motion. A complex web of currents steered by winds and the rotation of the earth carry warm water from the equator towards the poles and cold water back towards the equator. By redistributing heat around the world, these currents profoundly affect our climate. For example, warm-water currents such as the Gulf Stream are responsible for the relatively mild temperatures in northern Europe. The interaction between currents and climate is receiving a lot of attention, especially given the prospect of global warming due the buildup of greenhouse gases. Scientists are focusing on how a possible warming of the air and water might affect ocean circulation and how shifts in the currents will in turn impact the global climate. Some researchers have even speculated that global warming could trigger the shutdown of the currents carrying warm water north, plunging northern Europe into a deep freeze. To make confident predictions, however, scientists still need to work on the basics. While satellites have tracked the warm-water currents at the surface of the oceans, scientists are only gradually piecing together the complicated networks of cold deepwater currents. Amy Bower is one of the scientists working on this puzzle, one small piece at a time. Circulation in the northwest Atlantic at the depth of the Labrador Sea Water. Arrows indicate mean currents. Blue is cold water. Red is warm water.
