Science Degree Program in China - Marine Technology

1. Introduction

Marine Technology program trains senior specialized personnel with the basic knowledge of marine science and capabilities of marine high-tech development and research; can be engaged in marine science and technology, marine resources development and marine engineering work.

The development and utilization of ocean energy, resources, ocean and global change, marine environment and ecology research is the most feasible way for humans to maintain their own survival and development, expand the living space, make full use of the earth, which is the last rich treasure. Ocean development needs to obtain a large range, accurate marine environment data, needs seabed exploration, sampling, underwater construction, etc. To complete the task requires a series of ocean development technology support, including deep-sea exploration, scuba diving, ocean remote sensing, and marine navigation and so on.

2. Key Technologies

1) Desalination of sea water

2) Deep sea exploration

3) Ocean remote sensing

Marine remote sensing technology mainly includes the two major remote sensing technologies: light, electricity and other information carriers and acoustic wave as the information carrier.

Ocean acoustic remote sensing technology is a very effective method to detect the ocean. Using acoustic remote sensing technology, can detect submarine topography, observations of ocean dynamic phenomena and of subbottom profiling and submersible provide navigation, obstacle avoidance, and bottom contour tracking information.

Ocean remote sensing technology is an important means of marine environmental monitoring. Satellite remote sensing technology is advancing by leaps and bounds, which offers the possibility of observing a large range of ocean phenomena from space.
