DOI: 10.1007/s11069-018-3455-0
Abstract: Almost 60% of the rivers in the northern hemisphere experience significant seasonal effects of river ice. In many of these northern rivers, ice-jam floods (IJFs) pose serious threats to riverine communities. Since the inundation elevations… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s42241-019-0017-1
Abstract: The presence of bridge piers in natural rivers significantly changes the flow and boundary conditions. As a consequence, ice jams can often be initiated in front of bridge piers. With the changes in flow conditions,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.coldregions.2018.09.005
Abstract: Abstract Deltas and other multi-channel river systems in cold regions are particularly prone to ice jam flooding. The Hay River delta in the Northwest Territories, Canada is a unique full-scale field laboratory for studying such… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.adw4729
Abstract: Ice-jam floods are a unique yet understudied hydrological hazard, occurring in cold-region rivers when upstream thawing and downstream freezing create ice blockages. Despite their severe impacts, their atmospheric drivers and future trends remain unclear. Using… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/cjce-2018-0407
Abstract: We present an alternative analysis of the observational record of historical ice-jam floods in the lower Peace River presented in Beltaos (2018) and illustrate the need to examine the history of hydrological change in lakes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/cjce-2018-0542
Abstract: A recent study of dynamic ice breakup processes and their erosional potential in the Lower Athabasca River concluded that breakup can result in very large sediment loads, which cannot be predicted at present. As a… read more here.
