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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

BlueSky is a real-time smoke forecast system that predicts surface smoke concentrations from prescribed fire, wildfire, and agricultural burn activities. Developed by the USDA Forest Service in cooperation with the US Environmental Protection Agency (...
This talk describes development of a physics-based mathematical and computational model to predict fire spread among structures and natural fuels (trees, shrubs and ground litter). This tool will be used to understand how fires spread in a community...
Originally designed as a short-life-span tool to explore the links between surface and crown fire behavior models, NEXUS was first released as an Excel spreadsheet in 1998. The modeling concepts developed for NEXUS have since been used in the Crown...
The extent of extreme fire behavior in the last several fire seasons has highlighted the susceptibility of current forested vegetation stands to crown fire, bringing it to the forefront of national attention. Though much attention has been given...
Fire has been a natural and essential stand-renewing agent in boreal forests for millennia, and development of the boreal zone for industrial and recreational purposes has required the concurrent development of forest fire management programs that...
From the text ... 'Like similar fires elsewhere, the Cerro Grande Fire burned hotter than historical fires because of fuel buildups from years of fire suppression.'
