Initial fracture patterns of river ice cover / by S. Beltaos.: En13-5/85-139E-PDF

"Ice cover failure at spring breakup is governed by thermodynamic and physical laws. In principle therefore, it is possible to describe the initial breakup process. This paper describes possible mechanism, backed up by observation, for the breakup process and the subsequent form of the loose ice cover. The analysis brings order and insight to the early stages of breakup which is an essential first step to logical forecasting and management of rivers subject to spring ice jams"--Management perspective, p. i.
