Scientists discovered the ozone hole in 1985, but if they'd had the atmospheric monitoring capabilities of today, they could have found it 30 years earlier, according to new research.

The annual hole in Earth's ozone layer closed at the beginning of this month, scientists recently announced. This year's hole in the layer was smaller in 2024 than we've seen in any other year this ...

With last year’s undersea volcano injecting massive amounts of water high into the atmosphere, scientists were bracing for a big Antarctica ozone hole this fall. But it didn’t happen. Instead this ...

In 1985, scientists “accidentally” discovered a yawning hole in the ozone layer above Antarctica. Initial research suggested the problem had emerged as recently as the late 1970s, but a new analysis ...

This year’s ozone hole over Antarctica has shown signs of steady recovery, ranking as the fifth smallest since 1992, according to Nasa and Noaa (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ...

The ozone layer’s most famous wound opened over Antarctica, but the damage may have started much earlier, and somewhere else entirely. A new modeling study suggests the first detectable sign of ...

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 ...

With last year’s undersea volcano injecting massive amounts of water high into the atmosphere, scientists were bracing for a big Antarctica ozone hole this fall. But it didn’t happen. Instead this ...

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 ...

The ozone hole over Antarctica has opened weeks earlier than usual and could grow to near-record size due to delayed effects of the massive Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcanic eruption last year. The ...

Research indicates that industrial chemicals like carbon tetrachloride could have shown detectable ozone loss years before CFCs became widespread. A new study highlights how advancements in climate ...
