Day Meeting
The discovery of the Antarctic Ozone Hole led to intensive research to find out why such large ozone
losses were occurring in a region which was previously thought to be chemically inactive. This
research involved both atmospheric chemistry and meteorology and so it is entirely fitting that the
royal societies of the two disciplines are supporting this workshop. The finding also led to the
Montreal Protocol which limited ozone-depleting gases and so to close involvement of atmospheric
scientists with the chemical industry and the political process. Thus, while the focus is on the
atmospheric science, talks will cover the industrial and political developments. The presentations will
be given by leading international speakers and will cover the scientific and political importance of the
discovery of the Antarctic Ozone Hole, as well as the latest developments.
Speakers include
Paul Crutzen, Nobel Prize winner
David Fahey, NOAA
Michael McIntyre, University of Cambridge
Jean-Pierre Pommereau, CNRS
John Pyle, UNEP /WMO co-chair & University of Cambridge
Jonathan Shanklin, BAS
Keith Shine, University of Reading
Susan Solomon, NOAA , former chair IPCC WG1
