@Espiritus_Corvus The list is really bigger than that. Oceanography is the little cousin of Climatology. Climatology is not a distilled or “pure” science either. Like oceanography it’s a conglomerate of almost all other sciences. It also was not really a thing until the climate debate/crisis whatever you call it fiasco started. There was no course of study for it until very recently. They’re like macroscopic meteorologists without reliable, refined tools to practice their trade. I would love to be one though because it combines everything I love about science: geology, meteorology, computer science, biology, data acquisition, sensors, paleontology, astronomy, models, data, math, data ,statistics, data…. Just keep the politics out of it. Facts need to rule the day.
