Joint Exploration of the Twilight Zone Ocean Network (JETZON)

Led by Dr Adrian Martin at the National Oceanography Centre (NOC), the Joint Exploration of the Twilight Zone Ocean Network (JETZON) programme, has empowered science students from around the world through administering a generous bursary from the Grantham Foundation.

The Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) has appointed a BIO-Carbon champion to lead a programme that will provide new insights into the role of marine life in ocean carbon storage.

From its extraordinary creatures, to its crucial role in how the ocean takes up and stores carbon, the ocean’s Twilight Zone is a key research focus for scientists around the world.

The National Oceanography Centre (NOC) has led a study to investigate gaps in knowledge of how ocean life helps store atmospheric carbon dioxide, otherwise known as the biological carbon pump.

The UK’s National Oceanography Centre (NOC) is playing a key role in shaping the global structure and research agenda for the ocean over the next decade.
