Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In cold-region water resources management, river ice is a critical factor—its evolution from freeze-up to breakup and its impacts on channel morphology and water quality involve thermal and mechanical processes that are not typically the focus of traditional river hydraulics and hydrology. The impact of climate change has posed new research challenges, including the need to understand channel morphology in permafrost regions, flow and sediment transport in response to changing glacial conditions, outburst floods from the moraine dams of glacial lakes (GLOFs), and the decline of freshwater resources associated with glacier retreat. This Special Issue will explore all aspects of river ice hydraulics and hydrology, how river ice impacts the environment and ecology, and how climate change affects river ice processes.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Glacies is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1000 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
