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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Evaluation of Post-Wildfire Debris Flow Mitigation Methods and Development of Decision-Support Tools
The production of debris flows can be one of the most hazardous consequences of wildfires in the urban/wildland interface. Debris flows can occur with little warning, are capable of transporting large material over relatively gentle gradients, and may develop momentum and impact…
