- Title
Hydro-climatic impacts on the ice cover of the lower Peace River.

- Abstract
This article presents a study regarding the hydro-climatic effects on the ice cover of the lower Peace River. It discusses that a paucity of ice-jam flooding in the lower Peace River since the late 1960s has resulted in prolonged dry periods and considerable reduction in the area covered by lakes and ponds that offer habitat for aquatic life in the Peace-Athabasca Delta region. It mentions that antecedent conditions have a significant role in their frequency and severity though major ice jams occur at breakup.
