Book Description
This book exposes practitioners and students to the theory and application of river and lake ice processes to gain a better understanding of these processes for modelling and forecasting. It focuses on the following processes of the surface water ice: freeze-up, ice cover thickening, ice cover breakup and ice jamming. The reader will receive a fundamental understanding of the physical processes of each component and how they are applied in monitoring and modelling ice covers during the winter season and forecasting ice floods. Exercises accompany each component to reinforce the theoretical principles learned. These exercises will also expose the reader to different tools to process data, such a space-borne remote sensing imagery for ice cover classification. A thread supporting numerical modelling of river ice and lake ice processes runs through the book.

Book Description
"Recognizing the lack of comprehensive information on river ice environmental problems, the National Research Council of Canada's Subcommittee on Hydraulics of Ice Covered Rivers recommended in 1988 that a Task Force be form to investigate the environmental aspects of river ice. The Task Force has assembled this state-of-the-art report in order to document current knowledge and develop recommendations for research. ... This state-of-the-art report comprises contributions by Task Force members and is organized under three major chapters: physical, chemical and biological. The editors have re-arranged original material and inserted new text to enhance the degree of coverage, to maximize consistency among authors' presentations, and to better link the various sections. A subsequent publication "Proceedings of the Workshop on Environmental Aspects of River Ice" will be published following the release of this science report at the workshop of the same name"--Introduction, pages 1-2.
River Ice Breakup

Book Description
The breakup of a river ice cover can be both fascinating and perilous, owing to ever-changing ice conditions and dynamic processes that sometimes lead to extreme flood events caused by ice jams. Though much progress has been made recently in the study of ice jams, less has been achieved on the more general, and more complex, problem of how to predict the entire breakup process, from the first ice movement to the last ice effect on river stage. This type of knowledge is essential to determining when and where ice jam threats may develop and when they may release and generate steep flood waves that can trigger ice runs and jamming further downstream. In turn, such understanding is invaluable to natural hazard reduction, ecosystem conservation and protection, and adaptation to climatic impacts. This book combines the existing information, previously scattered in various journals, conference proceedings, and technical reports. It contains contributions by several authors to achieve a comprehensive and balanced coverage, including qualitative and quantitative descriptions of relevant physical processes, forecasting methods and flood-frequency assessments, as well as ecological impacts and climatic considerations. The book should be of interest to readers of different backgrounds, both beginners and specialists. -- Publisher's website.
