Sir John Murray KCB FRS FRSE FRSGS (3 March 1841 – 16 March 1914) was a pioneering Scottish oceanographer, marine biologist and limnologist. He is considered to be the father of modern oceanography. 〔 ==Early life and education== Murray was born at Cobourg, Canada West on 3 March 1841. He was the second son of Elizabeth Macfarlane and Robert Murray, an accountant. His parents had emigrated from Scotland to Ontario in about 1834. He went to school in London, Ontario and later to Cobourg College. In 1858, at the age of seventeen he returned to Scotland to live with his grandfather, John Macfarlane, and continue his education at Stirling High School. In 1864 he enrolled at University of Edinburgh to study medicine however he did not complete his studies and did not graduate. In 1868 he joined the whaling ship, ''Jan Mayen'', as ship's surgeon and visited Spitsbergen and Jan Mayen Island. During the seven-month trip he collected marine specimens and recorded ocean currents, ice movements and the weather. On his return to Edinburgh he re-entered the University to complete his studies (1868–72) in geology under Sir Archibald Geikie. He also worked with the physicist Peter Guthrie Tait researching and developing marine instruments. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Murray (oceanographer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
