Personal Narrative: A Career As A Chemical Oceanographer

My interest in Marine Biology started when I was 8 years at Sea World. I've had a passion with it ever since, watching Shark week on tv and the Deep blue shows. I’m preparing now by taking Biology and Chemistry, I am watching educational shows about the ocean in hopes of discovering more and fulfilling my goals. I want to explore the ocean and discover new sea life. The ocean is very interesting and big just waiting to be explored and discovered. I hope to major in Marine Biology.

The dream of having majored in marine biology is one thing, but to get to have a marine biology degree is a fifth grader’s dream come true. The environment is heading in a rough direction. For example, ocean acidification is already a problem. The decrease in pH of our ocean acidity is causing coral reefs to die out—which houses thousands of organisms’ homes and food sources. Due to the contaminants, we release into the natural environment, we are slowly losing ecosystems every day. Therefore, I want to be the researcher to help save the oceanic life from these horrible conditions. Also, the career of marine biology can take a person anywhere, from the coasts of the Bahamas all the way to the depths of the Arctic Ocean. This provides the advantage

Although there can be certain cons to pursuing marine biology as a profession, there are an abundant amount of pros to living this life. In addition to learning about marine creatures, marine biologists also help develop medicines and find different cures for sicknesses ("What is Marine Biology?”). Marine biologists get to see amazing aquatic places and animals that are very astounding and beautiful. I have wanted to be a marine biologist since I was five years old I never saw myself being anything other then that. After reading five articles and writing this essay, I cannot wait to go to college and become a marine biologist. The ocean takes up 96.5% of the surface of the earth. There are numerous amounts of mysteries that make up the deep-sea and without the help of marine biologists they would all be

I knew that they worked with animals and that they studied the oceanic environment. They work on in the ocean and on land, depending on the task they work in groups or alone. Also, with marine biology I feel like one of my strengths is that I love being around the ocean and I love working with people.

Midway through the recent Netflix documentary Mission Blue (Robert Nixon and Fisher Stevens, 2014), which follows the renowned marine biologist and conservationist Sylvia Earle’s campaign to establish protected marine sanctuaries around the globe, the narrator pauses to note an irony: the same industries that have for over half a century exploited the ocean for oil and gas, wreaking environmental havoc, are also responsible for the greatest technological advances in ocean exploration. These advances, moreover, helped deepen scientific understanding of the ocean and of its ecological import. Ocean

Marine Biology is a fascinating field to learn about, but to make a career in it you should consider three things: the job itself, requirements, and why you may be interested in this career. Many of these Questions can be answered by simply studying the career further and talking to a person who has a Marine biology vocation. But as we dive into the field and its unique qualities we must be aware to look at all the facts.

Blue oceans and champagne colored sand and don’t forget the lovely sea creatures but some of them ever so frightening.All of these things are what a Marine Biologist works with and they do many more studies having to do with this kind of things.What it takes to be a Marine Biologist is a Bachelor's degree or higher and you also need to like what you are doing,be good at math,science,reading,making surveys and graphs and so on.

I remember being awaken by the loud commotion going on from the living room, so I decided to go check. I went out calling for my parents, but to my surprise, I only saw my mom on the phone crying from the reflection of a mirror. I wondered where my dad was. I got closer towards the living room and stood by the wall. I witnessed my dad sitting down on the floor having trouble to breath complaining about chest pain while my mom stood next to him. I closed my eyes in fear. I then heard something calling me to open my eyes. It was a siren that got louder and louder each second. I stood up and saw red lights shining through the window. There was a knock at the door and my mom went to open the door. Two men and a woman came through the door in navy

Ever since I can remember I have stayed busy by participating in every activity I could get my hands on. Spending so much of my time working on getting that perfect pass, mastering a triple pirouette, and focusing on school  has taught me what it means to have a hard work ethic. Through being involved in so much and having many people’s support I have learned who I want to be. My grandmothers have impacted my life in unimaginable ways and encourage me to strive for what I want to be: a marine biologist.

The day to day activities of a Marine Biologist includes conducting species inventories, testing and monitoring sea creatures exposed to pollutants, collecting samples and data-using processes such as coring techniques, visual recording and sampling, analysing these samples in a lab and developing new research theories from them. Marine Biologist preserve specimens and samples of unknown species and diseases and mapping the distribution, ranges or movements of marine population, designing scientific experiments and collating findings, preparing detailed reports for agencies, commercial organisation, communicating the latest advances in marine science to help improve the ways in which we look after our oceans through academic publications, and evaluating the likely environmental impacts of a proposed project or development, including socio-economic,

Growing up I was never an involved student. This is not to say that I didn’t try to join organizations in High School because I did. I joined Track and Field for a week and the Recycling Club for 2 weeks. My problem was never joining clubs it was feeling that I belonged to something valuable. This all changed my first semester at San Diego State when I co-founded a club that would be open to everyone. Our goal was to create an organization that made culture accessible to all students at State.

My interests in Marine Laboratory stemmed when I was a senior in high school when I experimented the effects of excess fertilizer byproducts on water hyacinth’s ability to absorb metals in fresh bodies of water. Growing up as a swimmer, marine chemistry has always intrigued me, and working at MPL will help me decide the career pathway I want to choose. MPL offers a myriad of internship projects that interest me, but with my given statistics and chemistry background, it would be an honor to work with Eric Terrill, Grant Deane, and Peter Gerstoft.

At the end of the last academic year, while writing in my year book, you told me how I improved tremendously throughout the year and how I worked extremely hard to cover up the work that I didn't cover in my previous school. That conversion embodied our professional relationship, as you had always tried to push me beyond my boundaries and allowed me to excel in the subject that is very close to me. My grandfather is a professor of Organic chemistry and has been teaching this subject for 50 years. Since a child, I was fascinated by the physical world and the chemistry behind it. Chemistry was my favorite subject and I thought I knew quite a lot about it. When I first joined your class, however, I thought that maybe chemistry was not for me,

If you are interested in adventuring the depths of the ocean, being a marine biologist is the job for you. As a marine biologist you will need to have several years of schooling in order to have a successful career. Being a marine biologist can be an enjoyable and dangerous job, but the journey is worth the ride.

Ocean pollution is one of the most urgent issues in our world today. The ocean is crucial to our ecosystem and it is being severely damaged at an alarmingly increasing rate. In this paper I will educate about the role the ocean plays in our beautiful Earth, why it is being so widely ignored and dismissed, the causes of pollution, and its effects on animals and humans alike.
