Solomon has stood up for Scott and stated Scott was a “pretty good leader” and that “modern data side squarely with Scott” and described the conditions of the 1911 winter as being unusual.

Solomon is an active part of Solomon is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences as well as the European Academy of Sciences, and the French Academy of Sciences. in 2002, Discover magazine recognized her as one of the top 50 female scientists. The year 2008 was the time that Solomon has been selected by Time magazine as one of the top 100 influential people around the globe. She is also on the Science and Security Board for the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.

Solomon along with his colleagues from his work at the NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory has proposed a mechanism for how the Antarctic Ozone hole was formed by a heterogeneous reaction free radicals of ozone and chlorofluorocarbons in the ice particle’s surface within the high-altitude clouds that are formed over Antarctica. In 1986 and 1987, Solomon was the leader of in the National Ozone Expedition to McMurdo Sound which was which was where the team found the evidence to support the accelerated reactions. Solomon was the sole commander of the expedition and the sole female on the team. Her team found the levels of chloroform that were 100 times greater than the levels anticipated in the atmosphere that had been released through the breakdown of chlorofluorocarbons through ultraviolet radiation.
