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.

This year’s ozone hole over Antarctica ranked among the smallest since the early 1990s, reflecting steady progress from decades of global action under the Montreal Protocol. Declining chlorine levels ...

The ozone layer above the Antarctic may be healing at last, according to a promising new study. The Copernicus Atmospheric Monitoring Service (CAMS) found that the hole above the South Pole closed ...

If there is one piece of good news regarding our planet's future, it's our ozone layer and the ongoing shrinking of its hole. In an update on the latest status of the hole in Earth's ozone layer, the ...

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 is the seventh smallest it’s been since the early 1990s. Recovery began with the Montreal Protocol, which ended the production of all chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in 1987.

This map shows the size and shape of the ozone hole over the South Pole on Sept. 28, 2024, the day of its annual maximum extent, as calculated by the NASA Ozone Watch team. Scientists describe the ...

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 ...

While continental in scale, the ozone hole over the Antarctic was small in 2025 compared to previous years and remains on track to recover later this century, NASA and the National Oceanic and ...

New research suggests that the negative effects of the ozone hole on the carbon uptake of the Southern Ocean are reversible, but only if greenhouse gas emissions rapidly decrease. The study finds that ...
