Anthropogenic influence on the ozone layer was detectable by the late 1950s, primarily due to carbon tetrachloride, ...

Man-made emissions of nitrous oxide (N₂O) are rapidly increasing globally and are predicted to pose a growing threat to Earth's ozone layer. In the 1970s, it was discovered that N₂O in the upper ...

The same phenomenon that causes aurorae — the magical curtains of green light often visible from the polar regions of the Earth — causes mesospheric ozone layer depletion. This depletion could have ...

The burgeoning space industry may be posing a significant threat to our planet’s protective ozone layer. Recent studies have raised concerns that rocket launches could be creating a new hole in the ...

Depletion of the Earth’s ozone layer is slowing, according to a study scheduled for publication in the Journal of Geophysical Research. At a press conference, the scientists who conducted the study ...

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 ...

Researchers have established that the destruction of ozone over the Arctic in the spring causes abnormal weather throughout the northern hemisphere, with many places being warmer and drier than ...

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 ...
