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 ozone layer is a part of Earth’s atmosphere that captures some of the Sun’s ultraviolet (UV) light emissions. When the ozone layer is compromised, its ability to absorb radiation weakens, allowing ...
The ozone layer is slowly restoring itself and is expected to be on par with 1980 levels by 2066, according to a United Nations assessment of the goals set forth in the Montreal Protocol released this ...
In 2003, powerful solar storms during Halloween set off a chain reaction that damaged the Arctic Ozone layer and led to an unexpected decline in ozone over the Arctic in the spring of 2004. Scientists ...
The ozone layer, Earth's invisible shield against harmful ultraviolet radiation, sits quietly in the stratosphere between roughly 15 and 35 kilometers above our heads. For decades, scientists watched ...

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 ...
A wildfire can pump smoke up into the stratosphere, where the particles drift for over a year. A new MIT study has found that while suspended there these particles can trigger chemical reactions that ...
