In the context of a global shift from fossil fuels toward clean and renewable energy sources for a sustainable future, the ocean is emerging as a new frontier, holding an immense reserve of renewable energy. With more than 3,260 km of coastline stretching from north to south, Vietnam possesses an invaluable resource of marine renewable […]
Introduction Oceanography, meteorology, and hydrology are three core scientific disciplines in Earth system science, focusing on the study of water and atmospheric systems from local to global scales. Oceanography investigates the oceans and the physical, chemical, and biological processes occurring in the marine environment. Meteorology focuses on the atmosphere and weather phenomena. Hydrology studies the […]
