About Program

Explore the Arctic’s changing landscapes by joining a vital climate change study in Churchill, Manitoba. Partner with experts to assess the effects of warming temperatures on this unique environment.

Churchill, located in North America’s largest wetland, is famous for its polar bears and beluga whales. Yet, it has warmed by about two degrees Celsius since the 1880s, causing shrinking sea ice and earlier snowmelt.

You’ll help measure water quality, assess fish and frog populations, and study permafrost and tree cores. In winter, experience the Arctic by evaluating snowpack and sampling snow, traveling by sled and snowmobile, and perhaps building an igloo!

This program is currently not being promoted on Go Overseas by its provider. Check with Earthwatch Institute for the most up-to-date information regarding the status of this program.
