Description

The Ocean Twilight Zone (OTZ) program at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution is a comprehensive exploration of the twilight zone focused on this important ecosystem and its role in the C cycle and climate, laying the groundwork for long-term sustainability. The project comprises: scientific discovery, technological innovation, and public engagement. The OTZ program partnered with NASA EXPORTS during field sampling in the North Atlantic in the spring of 2021.
