CLIMATE MODELS — big computer models that use maths, physics and chemistry to characterise how energy and matter (solid, gas or fluid) flow between the hydrosphere (oceans, ice, rivers and lakes), atmosphere and land. This helps the researchers build up a picture of what conditions were like at specific times in the past.

The ozone holes allow harmful levels of ultraviolet (UV) radiation to pass through our atmosphere. Thankfully, research in the field of atmospheric chemistry identified CFCs as the culprit, and subsequent efforts to reduce the use of these gases has led to a partial recovery of the ozone holes.
