Oceanography has been defined as “The application of all sciences to the study of the sea”.
Before the n ine teenth cen tury sc ien t i s t s wi th an in te res t in the sea were few and fa r be tween. Cer ta in ly Newton cons idered some theore t i ca l a spec t s o f i t in h i s wr i t ings,but he was re luc tant to go to sea to fu r the r h i s work.
For mos t peop le the sea was remote,and wi th the except ion o f ea r ly in te rcont inen ta l t r ave le r s or o thers who ea rned a l iv ing f rom the sea,the re was l i t t l e reason to ask many ques t ions abou t i t, let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that the question “What is at the bottom of the oceans?” had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the l ay ing o f a t e legraph cab le f rom Europe to A mer ica was p roposed. The engineer had to know the depth p rof i l e(起伏形状) o f the rou te t o es t imate the l ength o f cab le tha t had to be manufac tured.

The cab le was l a id,bu t no t un t i l 1866was the connec t ion made permanen t a nd re l i ab le. At the ea r ly a t t empts, the cab le fa i l ed and when i t was t a ken ou t fo r repa i r s i t was found to be covered in l iv ing growths,a fac t which def ied con tempora ry sc ien t i f i c op inion tha t the re was no l i f e in deeper pa r t s of the sea.
With in a few year s oceanography was under way. I n1872Tho mson l ed a sc ien t i f i c exped i t ion(考察),which las ted fo r four years and b rought home thousands o f samples f rom t he
sea. The i r c lass i f i c a t ion and ana lys i s occupied sc ien t i s t s fo r years and led t o f ive-vo lume repor t, the l as t vo lume be i ng publ i shed in 1895.
