Ice-Jam Flood Risk Assessment and Hazard Mapping under Future Climate
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In cold-region environments, ice-jam floods (IJFs) can result in high water levels in rivers to overtop levees, leading to devastating floods. Since climatic conditions play an important role in ice-jam flooding, there is ...
Promoting Sustainable Ice-Jam Flood Management along the Peace River and Peace-Athabasca Delta
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The regulation of rivers has always been a controversial issue, with potential benefits but also environmental impacts. In western Canada, the construction of W.A.C. Bennett Dam in the headwaters of the Peace River has ...
Improved Understanding of River Ice Processes Using Global Sensitivity Analysis Approaches
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The high impact of river ice phenomena on the hydrology of cold regions has led to the extensive use of numerical models in simulating and predicting river ice processes. Consequently, there is a need to utilize efficient ...
