Name
H4 River Ice Session One: Flow Hydraulics and Geomorphologic Changes in Ice-Affected Rivers
Date & Time
Monday, May 25, 2026, 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM
Description

Preface:  
River-ice affects the hydraulics of ice-affected rivers, which can create changes in flow measurement and estimation, induce short- and long- term changes in channel geomorphology, and cause flooding of overbank areas.  This session is intended for scientific discussion of recent findings related to the topics below.

Topics:
•        Hydrometry of ice-affected rivers
•        Ice and Channel Change
•        Ice Formation and Breakup
•        Remote sensing and river ice

• 10:30 am – 10:45 am | The Interdependence of River Ice and Geomorphology: An Invitation to Conversation – Jennifer Nafziger
• 10:45 am – 11:00 am | Contrasting Vertical Velocity Structure in Open and Ice-Covered Pools Using LSPIV and ADV Measurements in the Don River – Adeyemi Olusola
• 11:00 am – 11:15 am | A Laboratory Study on Preventing Anchor Ice Accumulation Using Embedded Heating Cables in Concrete – Ahmed Reda
• 11:15 am – 11:30 am | Using a physics-based model to forecast the timing and severity of river ice breakup at multiple sites – Zavier Berti
• 11:30 am – 11:45 am | Observation of interesting ice processes on the Peace River for the 2025-2026 ice season – Martin Jasek
