After much promise and some doubt, it’s confirmed: the hole in the ozone layer over the Antarctic is recovering thanks to the global effort to reduce ozone-depleting substances. A new study led by ...

The Antarctic ozone layer is currently healing, as a result of global efforts to reduce ozone-depleting substances.

After decades of concern and cautious optimism, scientists have now confirmed with high statistical confidence that the Antarctic ozone hole is recovering and could completely close within the next ...

"There's been a lot of qualitative evidence showing that the Antarctic ozone hole is getting better. This is really the first study that has quantified confidence in the recovery of the ozone hole ...

Using satellite measurements, scientists realized that ozone loss above Antarctica was snowballing at a concerning rate, having torn a hole in the layer. The culprit behind this damage, they ...

Antarctica’s total ice volume is now estimated at 27.17 million cubic kilometers (6.52 million cubic miles). The ice sheet ...

Four decades ago, scientists sounded the alarm after discovering a growing 'hole' in the ozone above Antarctica. This protective layer of gas shields life on Earth from the sun's harmful ...

The geographic location of the Antarctic enables science that is less suitable elsewhere on the planet. An example of this is ...

New Delhi: A new study from MIT definitively shows that the Antarctic ozone hole is recovering because of a reduction in the emission of chloroflurocarbons. While the recovery of the ozone hole has ...

The biggest research finding from the Antarctic was the discovery of the ozone hole in 1985 by scientists from the British Antarctic Survey. This discovery led to the creation and implementation ...
