Antarctic ozone hole maximum size, 1979-2015. Ozone concentrations are colour-coded, with the purple and dark blue areas representing the lowest levels, constituting the "hole". The hole was first detected in mid 1970s, and was found to be due to chemical reactions between the atmosphere and chlorofluorcarbon gases (CFCs), which were widely used as refrigerants and propellants. CFCs were banned by the Montreal Protocol in 1987. The maximum extent of the hole was recorded in 2006. The measurements were made by NASA’s Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) instruments, and by the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI), from 2004-present. Every year from 1979 to 2015 appears in this montage except 1995, for which there is no data.

Cyanobacteria bloom in a lake
produced by Science Photo Library (London, England: Science Photo Library, 2014), 29 secs
Bloom of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) at the edge of a lake. Blooms such as this may be caused by fertiliser runoff. Some cyanobacteria produce toxic chemicals, and such blooms can severely impact other life in the lake.

Animation of the Earth showing the effects on the landmasses of a sea level rise of 70 metres. The familiar outlines of the continents are drastically altered in this scenario. It has been calculated that the complete melting of the Greenland and Antarctica ice sheets would cause such a rise, with Greenland contributing some seven metres, and Antarctica more than 61m. Earth's sea level has fluctuated considerably even in the recent past: during the last glacial maximum some 20,000 years ago, so much water was stored as ice that sea levels were around 120 metres lower than today.

The atmosphere is a critical system that helps to regulate Earth's climate and distribute heat around the globe. In this unit, discover the fundamental processes that cause atmospheric circulation and create climate zones and weather patterns, and learn how carbon cycling between atmosphere, land, and ocean reservoirs helps to regulate Earth's climate.
About the series:
A video course for high school teachers and college level instruction; 13 half-hour video programs, online text, professional development guide, and Web site; graduate credit available
The Habitable Planet: A Systems Approach to Environmental Science is a course for high school teachers and undergraduate students in environmental science. The content course will help teachers of biology, chemistry, and Earth science to provide more content in their classes. The course components include 13 half-hour video programs, a coordinated Web site which includes the streamed video programs, the course text online, five interactive simulations, background on the scientists who created the content and those whose research is documented, a professional development guide (also available in print form), and additional resources. Graduate credit is available for the course through Colorado State University.
This course begins with an overview of the Earth's systems — geophysical, atmospheric, oceanic, and ecosystems — as they exist independently of human influence. Following this introduction, the course explores the effect that human activities have on the different natural systems. Topics include human population growth and resource use, increasing competition for fresh water, and climate change. Each of the 13 programs features two case studies following top scientists in the field.
Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in association with the Harvard University Center for the Environment. 2007.
