DESCRIPTION:The presence of ice in rivers is an important phenomenon to be
  considered in the development of water resources in cold regions. Ice for
 mation can affect the design\, operation\, and maintenance of hydraulic en
 gineering facilities in cold regions. River ice phenomena involve complex 
 interactions between hydrodynamic\, mechanical\, and thermal processes\, a
 s well as the ambient hydro-meteorological conditions and channel morpholo
 gy. This presentation will discuss the current state of knowledge and unre
 solved issues on modeling river ice dynamics and the associated thermal pr
 ocesses. These issues include ice jam formation and release during freeze 
 up and breakup\, ice cover breakup\, frazil ice evolution\, and anchor ice
  formation and release. The possible similarities between these river ice 
 phenomena and sea ice will be discussed.   <br><span><br>Keywords: River i
