COMICS is a four-year collaborative research project that aims to quantify the flow of carbon in the ocean's twilight zone in order to accurately model global climate change. This twilight zone is the part of the ocean between 100m and 1000m below the sea surface, where only a small amount of light from the sun can still penetrate.
By investigating carbon dynamics in the ocean interior, COMICS will help to improve predictions of future global climate change.
