The Alaska Reference Database originated as the standalone Alaska Fire Effects Reference Database, a ProCite reference database maintained by former BLM-Alaska Fire Service Fire Ecologist Randi Jandt. It was expanded under a Joint Fire Science Program grant for the FIREHouse project (The Northwest and Alaska Fire Research Clearinghouse). It is now maintained by the Alaska Fire Science Consortium and FRAMES, and is hosted through the FRAMES Resource Catalog. The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Dual-dataset deep learning for improved forest fire detection: a novel hierarchical domain-adaptive learning approach

El-Madafri, Peña, Olmedo-Torre
This study introduces a novel hierarchical domain-adaptive learning framework designed to enhance wildfire detection capabilities, addressing the limitations inherent in traditional convolutional neural networks across varied forest environments. The framework innovatively…

Deep learning approach to improve spatial resolution of GOES-17 wildfire boundaries using VIIRS satellite data

Badhan, Shamsaei, Ebrahimian, Bebis, Lareau, Rowell
The rising severity and frequency of wildfires in recent years in the United States have raised numerous concerns regarding the improvement in wildfire emergency response management and decision-making systems, which require operational high temporal and spatial resolution…

An application of Landsat digital technology to forest fire fuel type mapping

Kourtz
Economic limitations prevent the mapping over large areas of forest fire fuel types using conventional forestry methods. The information contained in such maps would be a valuable tool for assisting in initial attack planning, presuppression planning and fire growth modelling.…

The planar intersect technique

Adams
The planar intersect technique involves counting or measuring diameters of woody pieces intersected by a vertical plane. It is based on the line intersect technique, which compares length of a given line and the amount of that line crossed by residue pieces. The sum of circular…
