Therefore marine biologists and biological oceanographers study these other fields throughout their careers, enabling them to take the Big picture' approach to doing research. In reading about marine biology and each of the other fields, keep in mind that some of the most important discoveries have been made as a result of an integrated multidisciplinary approach, often involving geologists, chemists, biologists, physical oceanographers, and engineers. Specializing within the filed Because there are so many topics one could study within the filed of marine biology, many researchers select a particular interest and specialize in it.
