Storm chasing field course celebrates 20th anniversary.

U of M storm chasing learning experience . Unique class offered at E&G.

What would happen if there were an oil spill in the Arctic? UM researchers are working to find out so we can be ready. This past winter, a team from the (CEOS UM) completed the first-ever controlled oil spill experiment at the Churchill Marine Observatory (CMO).

Three CEOS members of the Department of Environment and Geography, ran a field course on Lake Winnipeg last week. The course involved class lectures, followed by 3 days aboard the MV Namao, examining water quality gradients from the Red and Winnipeg Rivers #Fieldtrip

Veronica Coppolaro recently received The Wildlife Society (TWS) Manitoba chapter Student Travel Award which supported her attendance at the 2025 European Cetacean Society Conference in the Azores. Below is a summary of her experience and a couple of pictures. Veronica

Field Course in Ship-Based Sampling Techniques (GEOG 4670/ENVR 4000) Don't miss out.

Dr. Durell Desmond (UofM) and Fernando Sanchez Quete (McGill University) captured these stunning shots of the Churchill landscape. The GENICEII project is focused on studying oil spills in the Arctic using Churchill Marine Observatory facilities. @RiddellFaculty

Maeva Gremaud, PhD from Switzerland, is simulating ozone & mercury depletion events at a mesocosm scale at SERF. For this she has 2 acrylic tubes, one blocking the UV & the other not blocking UV, in order to measure the difference in depletion related to sunlight.@RiddellFaculty

CEOS exciting news! The Sea-Ice Experimental Research Facility (SERF) is home to UM’s first Solar Panel Installation (8kW DC) that generates power for SERF and feeds excess energy back into the Manitoba Hydro grid. A big thanks to the UM Strategic Initiatives. @RiddellFaculty

We wish you a Happy Holiday and health and happiness in 2025!. @RiddellFaculty

Karen Alley of CEOS, Luke Copland of the University of Ottawa, with Ottawa-based grad students Pénélope Gervais and Domynik Huot, led a glaciology/oceanography field trip to Auyuittuq National Park on Baffin Island, near the community of Qikiqtarjuaq. @RiddellFaculty

CEOS enjoyed some Danish Christmas fun yesterday. Lead by Dorthe Dahl-Jensen, she shared a Danish Christmas tradition making Christmas Hearts and eating ‘æble-skiver’. Everyone enjoyed the celebration of the season. @RiddellFaculty
