It has now been almost four decades since scientists discovered the growing hole in Earth's ozone layer. But climate ...
The ozone layer above the Antarctic may be healing at last, according to a promising new study. The Copernicus Atmospheric Monitoring Service (CAMS) found that the hole above the South Pole closed ...
Despite what it sounds like, the “ozone hole” isn’t actually a hole in our planet’s ozone layer. Instead, it is a much thinner area within the ozone layer than the rest. So, while it will ...
It has now been almost four decades since scientists discovered the growing hole in Earth's ozone layer. But climate researchers now say that the protective shield, around 20 miles above our ...
The extreme thinning of the Ozone layer threatened to bring on a global crisis from destroying plants and ecosystems to sky-high skin cancer rates. So, what happened? National Corporate funding ...
Ozone protects Earth from the sun’s ultraviolet rays and an increasing hole in the ozone layer would increase our exposure to these rays. “The repair mechanisms that we naturally have can ...
But the longer the hole persists, the greater the likelihood that the ozone layer is dominated by natural factors, not human CFC emissions.” Another year has passed, and that stubborn Ozone Hole over ...
The hole in the Antarctic ozone layer has been getting deeper in austral mid-spring over the last two decades, according to New Zealand researchers working with scientists from Otago University ...
“The ozone layer has diminished more than 50% from its normal values and the UV intensity index has jumped from four to ten, according to the 16 October reading when the hole reached the 51 ...
Let’s take a look at why the ozone layer matters, and how it’s being affected by these wildfires. NASA modelling shows that the hole in the ozone layer would have covered the entire Earth by ...
A new study published in the journal Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics reveals a 17-year delay in the projected recovery of ...
