Alaska's Changing Wildfire Environment
Fire Effects 10 Years After the Anaktuvuk River Tundra Fires
The 10-year follow-up report on the 2007 Anaktuvuk River fire has been recently released as a Technical Report. An interagency team led by the Bureau of Land Management has been studying the vegetation changes and permafrost changes after the fire.
Shovel Creek StoryMap: Burn Severity
AFSC's Zav Grabinski and EPSCoR Fire and Ice graduate student Chris Smith have released a StoryMap focused on burn severity using the 2019 Shovel Creek fire as a case study. The story map uses a combination of illustration, UAV videography, 360 plot photos, and animations to answer the questions:
- What is burn severity?
- What are the drivers of burn severity?
- How is burn severity assessed?
