Ice-induced backwater has been shown to be the only method by which ¯ooding has supplied water to perched basins within the Peace±Athabasca Delta, one of the world's largest freshwater deltas. The frequency of such events, however, markedly declined in the mid-1970s. To explain this shift, various h
