The Future of Arctic Research Begins at CMO

On August 27, 2024, Univerity of Manitoba’s Centre for Earth Observation Science opened the Churchill Marine Observatory (CMO), an innovative multidisciplinary research facility located adjacent to North America’s only Arctic deep-water port.

Mark Neufeld, UM video content creator, travelled to Churchill to experience the opening and spent a week capturing researchers in the field, insights from local community and stunning footage of the breathtaking Arctic landscape. 

Through meaningful collaboration with Indigenous partners—whose knowledge and perspectives are essential to understanding and safeguarding these fragile environments—discover how this facility is a transformative step in advancing environmental research and studying the effects of human activities on Arctic ecosystems.
