We present SCUBA imaging observations of the nearby prototype starburst galaxy M82, in order to study large-scale outflows observed in such galaxies and associated with starburst phenomena. We use (1) deep 450 μm continuum maps to investigate the structure and details of the large-scale outflows and (2) 850 μm linear-polarization maps to investigate the relation between nuclei and halo magnetic fields.
