Forecasting River Ice Breakup and Ice Jam Flooding
HydrologyMechanical breakup of river ice cover and associated ice jam flooding is a major concern for riverine communities in cold regions. The ability to forecast breakup ice jams is essential for river ice management. Numerous studies on forecasting breakup ice

Aerial photogrammetry to characterise and numerically model an ice jam in Southern Quebec
Hydrology Research, 2023 Collecting data on the dynamic breakup of a river's ice cover is a notoriously difficult task. However, such data are necessary to reconstruct the events leading to the formation of ice jams and calibrate numerical ice jam models.

Convolutional neural network and long short-term memory models for ice-jam predictions [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 In cold regions, ice jams frequently result in severe flooding due to a rapid rise in water levels upstream of the jam. Sudden floods resulting from ice jams threaten human safety and cause damage to properties and infrastructure.

Hydrology Research, 2023 The main difference between an open-water (regular) flood and an ice jam flood is that it is normally the whole river length that is overtopped whereas an ice jam flood is localized to where the jam is located.

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.
