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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

The fire management goal in Banff National Park is to maintain or restore, where possible, historical fire regimes. Fire cycles are an important component of a fire regime, and historical fire cycles provide a reference to guide the use of prescribed fire. Weather, climate,…

A consensus history of fire in the United States has emerged over the past decade. It correctly identifies fire suppression's liabilities, while probably over‐enthusing about fire‐science capabilities. What it lacks, however, is a context of the subject's larger, braided…

Though better land and forest stewardship seem crucial to the prevention of wildfires, the fighting of such fires also matters. How wildfire managers, who are assigned the duty of responding to wildfires once they break out, react to and engage in the wildfire fighting task,…
