Quite right.

One might add Electronics Operation (Scientific) and Expert Skill (Oceanography or other relevant fields)

Also Archeology, Anthropology, Diagnosis, Forensics, History, Linguistics, Physiology and more because of the possibility there might be people on the island or at least some evidence of their visits to it.

What I'm trying to determine is what kind of background and education do scientists who have some of these skills have?

What real-world academic degree, obtained some time between 1955-1995, would each of the eight members of the scientific team need to have in order to cover a particular niche out of these skills?
