Development of an ice-jam flood forecasting modelling framework for freeze-up/winter breakup
Hydrology Research, 2023 River ice-jams can create severe flooding along many rivers in cold regions. While ice-jams often form during the spring breakup, the mid-winter breakup can cause ice-jamming and flooding.
