Description
Summary:Historically, in Canada, popular and professional interest in river and lake ice were high. In this century, however, there has been a noticeable lack of "formal" interest. In addition, much of the popular and engineering interest in lake and river ice failed to be translated into the development of glaciology. Canadians, who have ignored "home-grown" science and local knowledge in favour of European scientific publications, have failed to recognize the important contribution to glaciology made by Tyrrell and Dumble.
