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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Chaos on the fireline

McAlpine, Wotton
Forest fire perimeters, in both Canada and the United States are predicted with an elliptical growth model, or acellular growth model, that emulates an ellipse. Recently it has been shown that the fractal dimension, a measure of line "wiggliness", anda subdivision ofthe science…

Social and political issues in ecological restoration

Bonnicksen
There are four major questions affecting the future of ecological restoration. The first and most serious question is philosophical. Should we attempt to restore ecosystems? Some people want to separate humans from nature because they believe that human intervention is bad or…

Vegetation history of northcentral Alaska: a mapped summary of late-Quaternary pollen data

Anderson, Brubaker
Fossil pollen data, as illustrated by isopoll and isochrone maps, document the complex late Quaternary history of tundra and boreal forest development in northcentral Alaska. Major plant taxa behaved independently over time, resulting in substantial differences in the vegetation…

Internal-combustion engine performance in the fireground

Carter, Milton
The performance of internal combustion engines used in fire fighting equipment can be affected by the fireground ambient conditions. Both gasoline (SI) and diesel (CI) engines can suffer significant power losses due to high temperatures and reduced oxygen in the intake air…
