Potential Impact of Old Satellites on Ozone Recovery w/ Dr Laura Revell: 19th June 2024

A new international study has recently been published showing the potential harmful impacts of old satellites on the ozone layer. 

The study concluded that the increase of old satellites orbiting the earth might seriously harm the recovery of the ozone layer.

This morning Rawan spoke with Dr Laura Revell from the school of physics and chemical science at the University of Canterbury about this new research. 

They discuss what the state of the ozone currently is and how exactly these old satellites will impact its recovery. 

They then talk about what we can expect in the short and long term and what precautions need to be taken to address these issues.
