Abstract: River and lake ice terminology has been evolving gradually in the last 40 years as the processes of ice formation and breakup have become better understood. The IAHR has considered it appropriate to contribute to a systematic river and lake ice nomenclature. The preparation of a terminology was given to a subcommittee headed by the author and a set of terms is presented herewith for discussion and approval. The set is presented in English only, since a multilingual glossary should be based on an agreed set of terms. The terminology has been developed to be in harmony with the work by UNESCO on sea ice since a submission from us to UN on lake and river ice terms has been requested.
