## Abstract In the period 1999 to 2003, river ice has continued to have important socioβeconomic impacts in Canada and other Nordic countries. Concurrently, there have been many important advances in all areas of Canadian research into river ice engineering and hydrology. For example: (1) River ice

## Abstract Many rivers of cold, and even temperate, regions of the globe are covered with ice for a part of the year. Projections of future climate indicate that the duration, composition and extent of ice coverage, however, will gradually change. This may have wideβranging consequences because ic
## Abstract Rivers in northern Japan are subjected to ice formation each winter. They are typically very steep with rapid changes in channel slope. As a result, ice covers are usually discontinuous with open water sections. Winter discharges in Japanese rivers are usually very small. Water temperat
## Abstract Ice is present during a part of the year on many rivers of cold, and even temperate, regions of the globe. Though largely ignored in hydrological literature, river ice has serious hydrologic impacts, including extreme flood events caused by ice jams, interference with transportation and
Freezing of surface water begins a unique hydrologic period in cold-region climates, one where the resultant ice covers create lotic and lentic environments that are distinctly different physically, chemically and biologically from their open-water counterparts. Many such differences result directly
## Abstract The process of isotopic fractionation during freezing in the riverine environment is discussed with reference to a multiβyear isotope sampling survey conducted in the LiardβMackenzie River Basins, northwestern Canada. Systematic isotopic patterns are evident in cores of congelation ice
