Circulation, Readership, and Market

The Oceanography Society membership represents all disciplines of oceanography as well as ocean technology. Approximately 27% of its members are non-US scientists and institutions from 66 countries.

The typical reader of Oceanography is a PhD-level professional ocean scientist, educator, or policymaker who directs, conducts, or manages ocean research at a university, institution, or government facility. The magazine offers advertisers direct access to an international core of ocean scientists who are responsible for selecting and purchasing modern ocean technology, and who actively use and often design ocean-related hardware and software. Our information indicates that Oceanography remains a valuable reference to readers for years after publication.
