For any researches here—what does your research look like?

Hi! I am a college student planning to transfer into an oceanography bachelor's degree program next year. I realized recently, that although I am totally set on going into oceanography, I don't actually know much about what kinds of research could be in my future!

So I thought I might ask: what kinds of research have you all on this sub seen/done, and what was the process like? And also, what is it like to work as an oceanographer/anything adjacent right now?
