A new MIT-led study confirms that the Antarctic ozone layer is healing, as a direct result of global efforts to reduce ozone-depleting substances. Scientists including the MIT team have observed signs ...

This year’s ozone hole over Antarctica ranked among the smallest since the early 1990s, reflecting steady progress from decades of global action under the Montreal Protocol. Declining chlorine levels ...

Healing continues in the atmosphere over the Antarctic: a hole that opens annually in the ozone layer over Earth's southern pole was relatively small in 2024 compared to other years. Scientists with ...

The past three years (2020–2022) have witnessed the re-emergence of large, long-lived ozone holes over Antarctica. Understanding ozone variability remains of high importance due to the major role ...

At this time of year, as the sun rises over Antarctica, a “hole” opens up in Earth’s ozone layer. The ozone layer is a vital planetary boundary that protects all life on Earth from the sun’s damaging ...

It has been 40 years since scientists revealed the shocking discovery of a large hole in the ozone layer above Antarctica, a finding that sparked urgent global action to protect the planet’s fragile ...

A new study confirms the Antarctic ozone layer is healing as a direct result of global efforts to reduce ozone-depleting substances. A new MIT-led study confirms that the Antarctic ozone layer is ...

This map shows the size and shape of the ozone hole over the South Pole on Sept. 28, 2024, the day of its annual maximum extent, as calculated by the NASA Ozone Watch team. Scientists describe the ...
