Many of the world's rivers are ice‐covered during winter months but increasing evidence
indicates that the extent of river ice will shift substantially as winters warm. However, our …

This paper presents a comprehensive review of sediment transport in ice-affected rivers by
documenting a range of unique ice and sediment transport processes. In cold regions during …

Climatic changes to freshwater ice in the Arctic are projected to produce a variety of effects
on hydrologic, ecological, and socio-economic systems. Key hydrologic impacts include …

Winter is an ecologically challenging season for ectothermic cold-water fish in natural
streams because of reduced flow and freezing. Hydropower regulation in many northern …

Hydropower is a major power source in cold region countries. It is also the largest
renewable energy source offering significant potential for reduction in carbon emissions. In …

This paper presents a global conceptual river ice model that can be used as a primary tool to
predict ice cover types and to identify ice processes potentially affecting cold region …

Riparian zones in boreal areas such as humid landscapes on minerogenic soils are
characterized by diverse, productive, and dynamic vegetation which will rapidly react to …

This paper constitutes a review and evaluation of current analytical methods for determining
quasi-static ice forces on bridge piers in rivers. Both peer-reviewed and grey literature is …

We review the predicted changes in extreme events following climate change in flowing
waters in arctic and subarctic regions. These regions are characterised by tundra or taiga …

In cold climate regions, the formation and break-up of river ice is important for river
morphology, winter water supply, and riparian and instream ecology as well as for hydraulic …
