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 ...

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

Operators follow a 25-year rule: at this point, a satellite’s mission is deemed to have ended and it is lowered into the atmosphere where gravity and friction kicks in. While this helps clear space, ...

This week, based on a genetic study, researchers issued a recommendation that bison in Yellowstone National Park should be ...

That is somewhat thicker than the lowest level ever recorded when the ozone layer hit 92 DU in 2006, but still thin enough to ...

The ozone layer is a thin shield of gas in the Earth’s atmosphere that protects the planet, absorbing the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays and helping to preserve all life on the planet.

Dr Jonathan Shanklin, who was one of the first people to discover the ozone layer was thinning, recently told BBC News that the recovery cannot be taken for granted, and "we cannot be complacent".

Earth’s protective ozone layer is on track to fully recover from human-made damage following the near total phasing out of ozone-depleting substances, according to a UN-backed report. The Earth ...

The ozone layer is on the mend, and it's thanks to human action. A new MIT-led study confirms - with 95% confidence - that global efforts to phase out ozone-depleting chemicals are paying off. This is ...

The ozone layer had been thinning since the late 1970s. Scientist raised the alarm and ozone-depleting chemicals were phased out worldwide. As a result, the upper ozone layer above the Northern ...

A new research underscores how future increases in methane emissions could significantly influence ozone recovery, particularly in the polar regions.
