The objective of the research is to study ice processes on the Hay River in order to develop predictive computer models. The techniques have the potential to model effects of berming and channel infilling on ice jam occurrence and severity. The ultimately aim is to provide flood warning tools and predict impacts of development and climate variability on ice jams.
In late winter ice thickness wi...

1993 Summary:
The researchers will continue their monitoring of ice formation and breakup at the Mackenzie River crossing near Fort Providence. Data will be collected on water levels, river velocity, ice thickness and strength, and snow depth. This information will contribute to our knowledge of ice formation and breakup at this crossing, with a goal of predicting freezeup and breakup events....
