University of Alberta River Ice Engineering
  River Ice Research Group, University of Alberta
   

Our river ice research group is presently working on a number of projects both in the field and in the laboratory.

Each of our projects is geared towards advancing current knowledge in river ice processes and hydraulics through:

  • field studies and monitoring methods
  • numerical modeling, and
  • experimental studies of river ice processes or characteristics

You can find detailed information about our current river ice research below.

Check out our River Ice Photo blog or watch a BBC video clip about our research in Hay River.
