In the icy frontiers of scientific research, understanding the movement and impact of glaciers is more vital than ever, especially as climate change reshapes our planet. At the forefront of this exploration is Dr. Tomasz Kolerski, a distinguished researcher from Gdańsk University of Technology, whose recent work with international colleagues sheds new light on glacier dynamics and ice behavior in cold regions. From pioneering mathematical models to studying real-world implications, Kolerski’s contributions promise advancements not only in environmental science but also in hydraulic engineering, where understanding ice processes can significantly bolster infrastructure safety.

Dr. habil. Eng. Tomasz Kolerski, an Associate Professor at Gdańsk University of Technology, is renowned for his expertise in ice phenomena, especially glacier dynamics. He has authored and co-authored numerous research publications in this specialized field. One notable paper, "Mathematical Modeling of Ice Dynamics in the Area of the Planned Siarzewo Reservoir," published in 2024, delves into the anticipated effects of wind on ice dynamics in the Vistula River’s future Siarzewo Reservoir. Dr. Kolerski also chairs the Committee on Ice Research and Engineering within the International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR), underscoring his significant contributions to ice studies. His research in mathematical modeling of ice processes is crucial for hydraulic engineering, particularly in cold-climate regions, and provides essential insights into ice behavior in rivers and reservoirs—vital for ensuring safer and more efficient hydraulic infrastructure.

Meanwhile, Dr. Jiajia Pan, Vice-Chair of the same IAHR committee, brings a strong portfolio of publications on glacier dynamics. His article "Anchor Ice Effects on River Hydraulics," published in Cold Regions Science and Technology in 2020, investigates how anchor ice affects river hydraulics, enhancing our understanding of riverine ice phenomena. Dr. Pan also collaborated on a 2023 study, "Transverse Flow Distributions in Ice-Covered Channels," featured in River, which examines transverse flow patterns in ice-laden channels—a critical aspect for hydraulic engineering in frigid regions.

Hydrolink is IAHR’s flagship journal, released quarterly with updates on the latest advancements in water engineering and environmental research, from project reports to innovative methodologies. Since 2021, it has offered a freely accessible online edition, aligning with IAHR’s commitment to broadening knowledge access. Not to be confused with Hydrolink Online—a separate, modern platform by BMETERS—this online tool supports remote data reading and management for water and heat meters, providing users with tools to monitor and analyze resource usage. Despite sharing the name, Hydrolink and Hydrolink Online serve distinct purposes: one as a scientific journal, the other as a data management platform.
