Oceanography Resources on the Internet

The following is a list of oceanography-related resources that can be found on the Internet. Exploration of these resources will turn up a surprising variety of information. You may find institutional descriptions, personnel directories, calendar of events, research activities, program summaries, datasets and images available via FTP, technical publications, etc.

Worth noting: Oceanographic research ship information & cruise schedules.

This directory was initially compiled by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography Library.

In addition, a very comprehensive list of Information Sources about the Internet and Computer-Mediated Communication is also available.
