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 ...

A wildfire can pump smoke up into the stratosphere, where the particles drift for over a year. A new MIT study has found that while suspended there these particles can trigger chemical reactions that ...

The rapid rise in global rocket launches could slow the recovery of the vital ozone layer, says Sandro Vattioni. The problem is being underestimated—yet it could be mitigated by forward-looking, ...

The Southern Ocean has long stood out as an oddity in the global climate system. While most of the planet's surface oceans have warmed in response to rising greenhouse gases, waters circling ...

The recovery of the ozone layer — which sits miles above the Earth and protects the planet from ultraviolet radiation — has been celebrated as one of the world’s greatest environmental achievements.

World Meteorological Organisation links the Antarctic improvement to the Montreal Protocol, while experts warn India faces ...

The ozone layer is on track to fully recover from its depletion within the next four decades, a panel of scientists gathered by the United Nations said on Monday. In an assessment conducted every four ...
