Abstract: Breakup ice jams form suddenly and with little warning. The lack of forewarning hinders emergency response and ice jam mitigation efforts. Present knowledge of breakup jam processes does not allow for the development of a ...

Abstract: In areas where damaging spring breakup ice jams are recurring events, advance mitigation measures should be considered. One mitigation measure that might be used in advance of ice breakup is aerial dusting of the ice, which ...

Abstract: The impact of dam removal on the ice regime of northern rivers has largely been ignored in the recent push for removal of dams to restore or improve aquatic habitat. However, dam removal may have significant impacts on the ...

Abstract: Evaluation of alternatives to reduce the severity of ice-jam flooding requires the development of probability distributions for ice-affected stage at nongauged locations along a river reach. Difficulties arise as the ...

Abstract: Two-sided extreme conditional sampling regularly is coupled with copula theory to assess the dependence between flood-risk drivers such as extreme precipitation or river discharge and storm surge. The approach involves ...
