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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

This seminar is part of the USFS Missoula Fire Lab Seminar Series.
Ever wish you could be out on the ground watching how fire behaves over the terrain, in different fuels with effects from weather, then use that experience to try and replicate what you saw and predict what will…

Canada's NWT burned over 7 million acres in 2014. What were the indications (drought codes, forecasts, fuel moisture) to alert managers that they were in for a record-breaking season? How well did pre- and early-season Fuel Moisture Indices reflect the fire risk? What were the…

Reiner, Ewell
Ali Reiner and Carol Ewell presented a webinar on June 10, 2014. Fire behavior and effects models are frequently used to inform fire and land management decisions despite a lack of testing against field measurements. The Adaptive Management Services Enterprise Team (AMSET, USFS…

High temporal resolution information on burnt area is needed to improve fire behaviour and emissions models. We used the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) thermal anomaly and active fire product (MO(Y)D14) as input to a kriging interpolation to derive…

Breen, Hollingsworth
Fires in the tundra can drastically alter vegetation and ecosystem characteristics. Drs. Hollingsworth and Breen (from the U.S. Forest Service and University of Alaska-Fairbanks, respectively) review the effects of climate on fire regime and wildfire in Alaska. They compare fire…
