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.

Proceedings of Hydrology Symposium
Author: Atmospheric Rivers
Author: F. Martin RalphPublisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030289060
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
This book is the standard reference based on roughly 20 years of research on atmospheric rivers, emphasizing progress made on key research and applications questions and remaining knowledge gaps. The book presents the history of atmospheric-rivers research, the current state of scientific knowledge, tools, and policy-relevant (science-informed) problems that lend themselves to real-world application of the research—and how the topic fits into larger national and global contexts. This book is written by a global team of authors who have conducted and published the majority of critical research on atmospheric rivers over the past years. The book is intended to benefit practitioners in the fields of meteorology, hydrology and related disciplines, including students as well as senior researchers.
Environmental Aspects of River Ice

Pages : 184
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.
