Just published a 60-minute deep dive that will change how you see the planet.
The ozone layer is healingābut not in a straight line. Deep Earth geology is quietly feeding halogens into the stratosphere, creating seasonal bruises in the sky that affect UV exposure, crop yields, and public health.
š¬ WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER:
ā¢ Why the ozone hole won't fully disappear (even though we fixed the CFCs)
ā¢ How mantle plumes beneath East Africa are cycling ancient seawater chemistry into the atmosphere
ā¢ The shocking connection between volcanic eruptions and spring UV spikes
ā¢ Why certain seasons are sharper than others
ā¢ How communities are adapting with seasonal UV forecasts and shade strategies
š THE REAL STORY:
We won the Montreal Protocol battleābut the planet found a loophole. Subducted ocean crust, recycled through the mantle transition zone, is releasing halogens that reach the lower stratosphere. When tropical convection, sulfate aerosols, and the Brewer-Dobson circulation align, the chemistry runs sharper.
It's not a catastrophe. It's a rhythm we're learning to dance with.
šÆ WHY THIS MATTERS:
Farmers in Argentina are adjusting shade cloth timing. Schools in South Africa are shifting outdoor schedules. Fisheries are tracking plankton shifts. The bruise is real, measurable, and manageableābut only if we understand where it comes from.
This is the kind of story that connects rock chemistry to your daily life.
