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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Pilot Study: Improving BAER Calculation of Values-At-Risk

Robichaud, Calkin, Jones
The increased scrutiny of all wildfire related expenditures requires improvements in cost-benefit accounting systems including methods to assess values-at-risk downstream of burned areas. Working under very tight timelines, Burned Area Emergency Rehabilitation (BAER) teams are…

Modeling Vegetation Phenology for the Assessment of Present and Future Fire Hazard Potential

Jolly, Bradshaw, Running
Real-time monitoring and predictive models of vegetation phenology will be developed to assess the current state of greenness of live vegetation as well as predict the timing of greenup and senescence events as a result of future climates. The real-time monitor will be based on…

Atmospheric Fire Risk in a Changed Climate

Winkler
Planning for future fire regimes and fuel conditions involves predicting future fuel loads and conditions, as well as evaluating how the atmospheric potential for large or dangerous fires will change in the future. There have been several studies examining the potential changes…

Strengthening Application of the Ventilation Climate Information System (VCIS) for Multiple-Scale Planning, Documentation and Risk Assessment

Hoadley, Ferguson, Larkin
The Ventilation Climate Information System (VCIS) was completed with Joint Fire Science Program support in 2000 under a 1998-2000 project called, Assessing Values of Air Quality and Visibility at Risk from Wildiand Fires. It is a twice-daily, 30- year database of surface wind,…
