Breaking the ice on Arctic oil spill research
This past winter, researchers from the Center for Earth Observation Science (CEOS) at the University of Manitoba (UM) completed the first-ever controlled oil spill experiment at the Churchill Marine Observatory (CMO). This was a major milestone in a larger effort to understand how oil behaves in the Arctic, and how Arctic microbes might help clean it up.
