Just a few decades ago, the sky above Antarctica became a symbol of environmental crisis. Scientists had discovered a massive hole in the ozone layer-a protective shield in Earth's atmosphere that ...
Scientists recorded a total-column ozone concentration of 102 Dobson units, the 8th-lowest level since 1986.
The hole in the ozone layer has made an unwelcome comeback. First spotted in the 1980s, the ozone hole over Antarctica caused concern due to the perceived risk it could cause an increase in skin ...
The annual ozone hole that forms over Antarctica has ballooned to near-record size, scientists say.
The Antarctic ozone “hole” — which, when it was first identified in the mid-1980s, focused public attention like few other pieces of environmental news — has begun, in their words, to ...
A hole in the atmosphere's ozone layer is the seventh-smallest since recovery began in 1992, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced Wednesday.
An ozone hole above Antarctica opened early this year. Scientists think the 2022 Hunga Tonga eruption may be to blame.
Despite public perception, the Antarctic ozone hole has been remarkably massive and long-lived over the past four years; researchers believe chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) aren't the only things to blame.
New Zealand researchers say changing weather dynamics could be influencing the formation of larger holes in Antarctica's ozone layer, but others debate the new study's findings.
Antarctica’s Ozone Hole Is Persisting Later Into the Year, Raising Concerns for Wildlife As a result of the longer-lasting hole, harmful ultraviolet radiation is reaching Earth during a time ...
The Antarctic ozone hole usually starts forming in early August, but rare warming events and a strangely elongated polar vortex this year may have delayed its arrival.
The ozone hole over the Antarctic is lasting for longer - posing danger to wildlife, warns a team of researchers led by a University of Wollongong academic.
