Introduction
As a master's student in water engineering at Université Laval since September 2023, I'm focusing on quantifying the effect of tributaries on the risk of ice-jam flooding in urban areas near confluences. I hope to have an impact on the protection of riverside communities and help government and municipal agencies better prepare for these disasters. Candidate to the Engineering Profession (CEP) since June 2023, I also have experience in modeling and hydraulic studies.

Tributaries can play a significant role in river winter hydraulics, especially during the breakup season. They can contribute to ice jam formation, increasing the risk of sudden floods for nearby populations. However, knowledge about tributary behavior during breakup and their effects on downstream ice jam formation is still limited. The main objec...
