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.

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.
