There are several educational paths to becoming a marine engineer, all of which includes earning a university or college degree, such as a Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng. or B.E.), Bachelor of Science (B.Sc. or B.S.), Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.), Bachelor of Technology Management and Marine Engineering (B.TecMan & MarEng), or a Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.Sc.) in Marine Engineering.
An offshore environment has several implications for geotechnical engineering. These include the following: [1] [4] Ground improvement (on the seabed) and site investigation are expensive. Soil conditions are unusual (e.g. presence of carbonates, shallow gas). Offshore structures are tall, often extending over 100 metres (330 ft) above their ...
Marine geophysics is the scientific discipline that employs methods of geophysics to study the world's ocean basins and continental margins, particularly the solid earth beneath the ocean. It shares objectives with marine geology , which uses sedimentological , paleontological , and geochemical methods.
The Institute of Geophysics of the Czech Academy of Sciences is rooted in the (State) Institute of Geophysics established in 1920, [1] [2] also the precursor of two other centres of geophysics, both at the Charles University: the Department of Geophysics [3] in the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, and Applied Geophysics [4] within the Faculty of Science.

Marine geology also has many applications on the subject of offshore energy development. [55] Offshore energy is the generation of electricity using ocean-based resources. This includes using wind , thermal [ clarification needed ] , wave , and tidal movement to convert to energy. [ 56 ]
Geoengineers study the mechanics of rock, soil, and fluids to improve the sustainable use of earth's finite resources, where problems appear with competing interests, for example, groundwater and waste isolation, offshore oil drilling and risk of spills, natural gas production and induced seismicity.
Clarence Peter Cazalot Jr. (born 1950) [3] was president and chief executive of the Houston-based Marathon Oil Corporation. [1] [4] Since he took over control of the company in 2002, Marathon has expanded abroad with investments in the nascent gas industry of Equatorial Guinea and oil in Gabon, Libya and Norway.
