Abstract: A hanging ice dam that forms annually in the lower Smoky River, Alberta, has been the object of continued investigation during the period 1975-1979. The study aims at documenting the physical dimensions and material properties of the dam; elucidating the mechanisms of its formation and removal; and assessing its effects on the progress of breakup in the river. This paper presents a summary of the results obtained to date.
