Successful ice dusting at Fairbanks, Alaska, 1966
Ice and snow cover of Chena River was dusted with coal dust and fly ash in spring of 1966 to increase absorption of solar energy and hasten melting and prevent ice jams; theoretically, dusting could increase radiation absorbed at breakup time in Fairbanks enough to melt additional 2 cm of ice per day; measurements of melting rates made in dusted and clean sections of river and observations of river during breakup showed that dusting apparently had significant beneficial effect; because of its specific nature and lack of control, this experiment cannot be considered conclusive.
