Scientists develop new method to assess ozone layer recovery
24 August 2022Researchers have developed a new method for assessing the impacts of ozone-destroying substances that threaten the recovery of the ozone layer.
High ozone levels in tropical Pacific caused by fires burning in Africa and Asia
13 January 2016Study indicates ‘biomass burning’ may play a larger role in climate change than previously realised.
Pollution on the move – human activity in East Asia negatively affects air quality in remote tropical forests
31 March 2015New analysis shows that pollution from human activity in East Asia is having a negative effect on air quality in tropical rainforests thousands of kilometres away, and could harm the ozone layer if levels continue to increase.
New research highlights the key role of ozone in climate change
01 December 2014The models which are used to predict how climate change will occur could be much improved by including the key role of ozone, which is often overlooked in current models.
Climate chemistry and the tropics
05 October 2012New models are being developed to predict how changing land use in the tropics could affect future climate, air quality and crop production.
Whither the ozone hole?
16 September 2011To mark the annual International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer (Ozone Day), Dr Neil Harris, an expert on the atmospheric composition from the University’s Department of Chemistry, discusses why research into this issue is as important as ever.
