Using measurements from NASA’s Aura satellite, scientists studied chlorine within the Antarctic ozone hole over the last several years, watching as the amount slowly decreased….
Each year, ozone-depleting compounds in the upper atmosphere destroy the protective ozone layer, and in particular above Antarctica. The ozone layer acts as Earth’s sunscreen…
New NASA-funded research has devised a way to use satellite measurements to track ozone formation among three different sets of conditions. Ozone pollution near Earth’s…
This year’s ozone hole was similar in area to the hole in 1988, about 1 million miles smaller than in 2016. Although scientists predict the…
New research details the “first fingerprints of healing” of the Antarctic ozone layer. Scientists found that the September ozone hole has shrunk by more than…
Scientists from NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reveal that the 2015 Antarctic ozone hole area was larger and formed later than in…
According to new research from NASA, chemical coolants known as hydrofluorocarbons that are found in refrigerators and in home and automobile air conditioners, contribute to…
Scientists from NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reveal that the overall 2014 ozone hole is smaller than the large holes of the…
This short video and new assessment packet reveals the remarkable success of the worldwide action to phase out ozone-depleting substances, reporting that the ozone layer…
A newly published study from NASA shows that Earth’s atmosphere contains an unexpectedly large amount of Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), leaving researchers to believe that there…
New research from scientists at the University of East Anglia reveals four new man-made gases in the atmosphere that are contributing to the destruction of…
Based on a massive data set unique to Houston, a newly published study from scientists at Rice University has found a direct correlation between out-of-hospital…
Data from NASA and NOAA satellites show that the average area covered by the Antarctic ozone hole this year was the second smallest in the…
Researchers at the University of Leeds, in collaboration with the University of York, published a new study showing the extent of the Northern Hemisphere’s intercontinental…
