"In countries where rivers freeze in the winter, severe flooding events (hereafter referred to as 'floods'), along river shorelines can be induced by ice. These scenarios are more complex and less foreseeable than open-water floods (in the warmer seasons). They can also be faster and cause more damage for the same increase in water level than those without ice. Over the last number of decades, our societies have developed an ability to counteract these events. Floods caused by ice still occur, however, namely where no measures have been implemented or where they could be improved. … This report has three objectives: to succinctly go over ice processes that lead to floods of river shorelines; to summarize what has been documented in the scientific and engineering literature on existing and prospective measures to address shoreline floods caused by river ice; to outline the implications of climate change. …"--Introduction, page 1.
