About OzoneNews
OzoneNews is the flagship science publication of Ozone Network News LLC, an independent digital media company delivering sourced, verified reporting on Earth science, space exploration, climate systems, oceanography, geology, paleontology, and archaeology.
We are a science news network run by scientists. Our founder, Max DeLeonardis, holds a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from North Carolina State University, completed through the joint program with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Every story published on OzoneNews is produced under our Editorial Standards, which require named sourcing, primary-source verification, and author accountability for every published claim.
What We Cover
OzoneNews focuses exclusively on science and the scientific understanding of Earth and the universe. Our coverage spans:
- Space Exploration — NASA missions, SpaceX launches, JWST discoveries, planetary science, and the commercial space industry.
- Earth Science — Geology, plate tectonics, volcanism, paleontology, and the deep Earth processes that shape the planet.
- Climate Science — Global temperature data, atmospheric physics, CO₂ monitoring, cryosphere dynamics, and climate modeling.
- Oceanography — Marine ecosystems, deep-sea exploration, ocean temperature and acidification, coral reef health, and marine conservation.
- Archaeology — Ancient civilizations, human origins, classical studies, and the material record of humanity's past.
- Physics and Astronomy — Dark matter, quantum mechanics, exoplanets, cosmology, and fundamental physics.
Our Scientific Approach
Every article on OzoneNews is built on primary sources: peer-reviewed papers published in scientific journals, data from government agencies (NASA, NOAA, ESA, USGS), institutional press releases, and direct interviews with researchers. We do not publish opinion pieces, speculative content, or unverified claims. Our reporting is data-driven, sourced, and reviewed before publication.
Our editorial team includes writers and editors with backgrounds in biomedical engineering, physics, climate science, and journalism. We apply the same standards of evidence and reproducibility that we learned in scientific research to every story we publish.
AI Transparency
AI-Assisted, Human-Verified. This publication uses advanced language models for initial research and structural drafting. 100% of factual claims, data points, and analysis are manually cross-checked against primary sources by our editorial team before publication. AI is a tool for efficiency, not a substitute for scientific accuracy.
Leadership
OzoneNews is owned and operated by Max DeLeonardis, Ph.D., Founder and Publisher. Max earned his doctorate in Biomedical Engineering from North Carolina State University and oversees all editorial operations, scientific sourcing standards, and network strategy.
Our Network
OzoneNews is part of the Ozone Network News (ONN) family of digital news brands. Sister publications include BasilNews (finance, markets, and economy), ObsidianPaper (cybersecurity and data privacy), and others covering specialized verticals outside OzoneNews's science focus.
