Abstract
This paper presents some of the benefits of using satellite imagery for river ice
observation and analysis over traditional survey methods. To illustrate this
point, a case study of the ice observation program of the lower reaches of the
Churchill River in Labrador is described. Ice has been monitored on this river
since the early 1970s for the purpose of hydroelectric development feasibility
studies.
