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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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 study focuses on the behavior and mechanics of winter feeding in caribou as they relate to the energetics involved. Time-energy budgets show that the caribou calf spends less time than adults in digging for food but benefits from the displacement of its cow from feeding…

Experiments were carried out during the 1967-1972 period in an attempt to measure cryostatic (frost-induced) pressures by means of soil pressure cells installed in nonsorted circles (mud hummocks) at Inuvik, N.W.T. Although slight soil pressure increases were measured in the…

Caribou select areas of relatively shallow snow for winter feeding, and do so on at least two levels: broad area and microsite. They do not normally select sites with snow-packs having mean integrated Ram hardness values in excess of 85. However, in areas of relatively shallow…
