21 In high school, students may only be exposed to conventional science subjects, so what exactly is ocean science? 在中學階段，學生接觸的大多是傳統科學科目，那麼究竟甚麼是 海洋科學呢？ Cindy In secondary school, physics, chemistry, biology and geography are usually taught as separate subjects. However, the ocean is an enormous and complex system, so fully understanding it requires an interdisciplinary approach. Physical oceanography examines ocean currents, tides and ocean modeling; chemical oceanography investigates how pollutants and toxic substances react and disperse in seawater, and biological oceanography focuses on marine organisms and how they respond to environmental changes. 中學通常把物理、化學、生物和地理分開教授，但海洋本身是一個龐大而複雜的系統，因此要完 整理解它，便需要運用不同領域的知識。物理海洋學研究洋流、潮汐和海洋模型；化學海洋學探討污 染物和有毒物質的化學作用，以及它們如何在海中擴散；生物海洋學則集中研究海洋生物，以及它們 如何應對環境變化。 Andy In secondary school, science is usually divided into separate subjects — physics, chemistry and biology. But university-level ocean science isn't neatly split. A single ocean phenomenon often requires explanations from several disciplines. It isn't just about listing different kinds of knowledge side by side; it's about how to draw on multiple disciplines at once. 在中學階段，科學通常劃分為獨立科目，例如物理、化學和生物，但大學程度的海洋科學並不能 被清晰地分割。要解釋一個海洋現象，往往需要運用多個學科的知識，因此海洋科學並非只是把不 同範疇的知識並列在一起，而是如何綜合不同學科來理解海洋。
