SHORE ICE PILE-UP AND RIDE-UP: FIELD OBSERVATIONS, MODELS, THEORETICAL ANALYSES

A review of the literature on shore ice pile-up and ride-up in arctic and subarctic waters is presented, along with an account of recent observations made by the authors. Cross-sectional profiles of these features are presented from which models and theoretical analyses were made. The expressions derived give the force required to overcome gravitational potential and friction occurring during ice-piling and ride-up. ... This report addresses the phenomenon of shore ice pile-up and ride-up, first from the point of historical and recent field observations and second from the point of a theoretical assessment of the problem. ... This review is by design generally restricted to the more relevant observations of sea ice encroachment on arctic and subarctic beaches. ...(Author)
