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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Shapley-based interpretation of deep learning models for wildfire spread rate prediction

Qayyum, Samee, Alabdulhafith, Aziz, Hijjawi
Background: Predicting wildfire progression is vital for countering its detrimental effects. While numerous studies over the years have delved into forecasting various elements of wildfires, many of these complex models are perceived as “black boxes”, making it challenging to…

Investigating the spatial and temporal limitations for remote sensing of wildfire smoke using satellite and airborne imagers during FIREX-AQ

Shi, Levy, Remer, Mattoo, Arnold
Starting from point sources, wildfire smoke is important in the global aerosol system. The ability to characterize smoke near-source is key to modeling smoke dispersion and predicting air quality. With hemispheric views and 10-min refresh, imagers in Geostationary (GEO) orbit…

Land and atmosphere precursors to fuel loading, wildfire ignition and post-fire recovery

Alizadeha, Adamowski, Entekhabi
Land surface-atmosphere coupling and soil moisture memory are shown to combine into a distinct temporal pattern for wildfire incidents across the western United States. We investigate the dynamic interplay of observed soil moisture, vegetation water content, and atmospheric…

Incorporating an interactive fire plume-rise model in the DOE's Energy Exascale Earth System Model Version 1 (E3SMv1) and examining aerosol radiative effect

Lu, Liu, Ke, Zhang, Ma, Fan
The vertical distribution of biomass burning aerosol (BBA) is important in regulating their impacts on weather and climate. The plume-rise process affects the injection height of BBA and interacts with the air parcel lifting and cloud processes. However, these processes are not…

Biophysical effects of an old tundra fire in the Brooks Range Foothills of northern Alaska, U.S.A

Miller, Baughman, Jones, Jandt
Our understanding of tundra fire effects in Northern Alaska is limited because fires have been relatively rare. We sampled a 70+ year-old burn visible in a 1948 aerial photograph for vegetation composition and structure, soil attributes, terrain rugosity, and thermokarst pit…

The initiation of smouldering peat fire by a glowing firebrand

Lin, Zhang, Huang, Gollner
Background: Wildfires represent a significant threat to peatlands globally, but whether peat fires can be initiated by a lofted firebrand is still unknown.Aims: We investigated the ignition threshold of peat fires by a glowing firebrand through laboratory-scale experiments.…

Fire and geodiversity

Hoyland, McHenry, Foster
Geodiversity elements contribute significantly to local and global hydrological, biogeochemical and ecosystem services and as such, fire is a potentially disruptive force with long-term implications. from limiting karstic speleothems formation, to compounding impacts of peat-…

Using motion pictures for data collection on prescribed burning experiments

Pickford, Sandberg
A simple, inexpensive, and relatively accurate photographic method for date collection is described. Objects of interest are triangulated from films taken simultaneously at two camera positions. Accumulated synchronization and measurement errors amounted to 0.2 - 0.5 meter. The…
