CRIPE will be at the upcoming Canadian Geophysical Union Conference in Halifax (May 24 – 27, 2026).
We are hosting 3 Sessions:
- H4 River Ice Session One: Flow Hydraulics and Geomorphologic Changes in Ice-Affected Rivers
- H5 River Ice Session Two: Winter Environments of Ice-Affected Rivers and Streams
- H6 River Ice Session Three: Numerical Modelling of Ice-Affected Rivers
We invite you to submit your abstracts (abstract only – no paper required) and join us at the conference. The abstract submission deadline has been extended to January 18, 2026.
We hope to see you in Halifax!
Workshop on River Ice
Our biennial workshops provide a forum to share knowledge and advance our collective understanding of river ice processes and their impacts on our society and the environment.
Participants include students, researchers, and practitioners from across North America and overseas.
The next workshop will be held in 2027. More details will be announced in early 2026.

For exemplary work in river ice
Ice processes play a dominant role in the hydrologic regime of northern rivers and are intimately related to the life cycle of many aquatic, terrestrial, and avian species. The most serious impacts of river ice occur during ice-jam flooding, when loss of property and human life may be experienced.
