The hole in the ozone layer over Antarctica only grew to 22 million square kilometres this year, the smallest observed since ...

A new study published in the journal Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics reveals a 17-year delay in the projected recovery of the ozone layer since 2006, underscoring the need for enhanced global ...

The recovery of the ozone layer over Antarctica cannot be taken for granted and requires constant vigilance. That's the message from Jonathan Shanklin, one of the scientists who first documented ...

The geoengineering scheme, known as stratospheric aerosol injection, would not be cheap, but scientists say it could buy us some time until we reach net-zero carbon. When you purchase through ...

Ozone is a molecule comprised of three oxygen atoms that occurs naturally in small amounts. In the stratosphere, roughly seven to 25 miles above Earth's surface, the ozone layer acts like ...

The study focuses on the recovery of equivalent effective stratospheric chlorine (EESC), a critical metric for estimating stratospheric ozone depletion, and explores why the timeline projected by ...

“We celebrate 35 years of the Montreal Protocol’s success in protecting the stratospheric ozone layer against synthetic chemicals that also cause climate heating,” said Secretary-General ...

The Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) has been firmly positive now for several months. A positive SOI refers to low pressure ...
