River Ice Processes and Ice Flood Forecasting A Guide for Practitioners and Students
This book exposes practitioners and decision-makers to the theory and application of river ice processes to gain a better understanding of these...
-
Numerical Modelling of River Ice Processes (Model Description)
River ice modelling is an indispensable tool for ice-jam flood forecasting. Potential ice-jam flood backwater levels can be predicted with such...
-
Snow/Ice Melt, Precipitation, and Groundwater Contribute to the Sutlej River System
This study examines the proportional contribution of snow/ice melt, rainfall, and groundwater to Sutlej River discharge at various locations. Sutlej...

Ice-Jam Flood-Hazard Assessment of Ungauged River Reaches
Regionalisation is a term most often associated with hydrological modelling, in which parameters calibrated from a gauged basin are transferred to...
-
Ice-Jam Flood Risk Mitigation
This chapter begins with an overview of mitigation measures considered to be most promising for mitigation of ice-jam floods in Fort McMurray,...
-
Ice-Cover Breakup and Ice Jamming
During the ice-cover period, initial ice-cover breakup precedes ice-jam flood events. Hence, it is important that breakup processes are well...
-
Ice-Cover Monitoring
It is important to monitor ice cover characteristics such as ice type, ice thickness and the amount of snow on the ice cover throughout the winter...

Debris flow simulation and modeling of the 2021 flash flood hazard caused by a rock-ice avalanche in the Rishiganga River valley of Uttarakhand
The high mountain ecosystem of the Indian Himalayas has frequently been experiencing primary hazards (like earthquakes, avalanches, and landslides)....
-
Ice-Jam Flood-Hazard Assessment and Map**
In this chapter, I will extend and refine the stochastic modelling framework presented in Chap. 8 to carry out...
-
Ice-Jam Release Waves (Javes)
In this chapter, we will delve into the processes and mechanics of ice-jam release waves, also called javes. When an ice jam dislodges, water and...

A stochastic modelling approach to forecast real-time ice jam flood severity along the transborder (New Brunswick/Maine) Saint John River of North America
In the higher latitudes of the northern hemisphere, ice jam related flooding can result in millions of dollars of property damages, loss of human...
-
Forecasting Ice-Cover Formation and Freeze-Up Ice-Jam Flooding
This chapter explores the process of forecasting the extent of ice covers, formed at freeze-up, that can lead to backwater staging being high enough...
-
Probable Maximum Ice-Jam Flood
In this chapter, the stochastic modelling framework introduced in Chap. 8 is extended to calculate the...

River water quality shaped by land–river connectivity in a changing climate
River water quality is crucial to ecosystem health and water security, yet its deterioration under climate change is often overlooked in climate risk...

Eutrophication in cold-arid lakes: molecular characteristics and transformation mechanism of DOM under microbial action at the ice-water interface
During freezing periods, nutrients (carbon and organic matter, etc.) are enriched in the water and sediment of lakes in cold-arid regions, leading to...

Shifting sediment depocenters track ice-margin retreat in Baffin Bay
Reconstructing the depositional history of Baffin Bay allows insights into the deglacial retreat of the Laurentide, Innuitian, and Greenland ice...
