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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Linear programming techniques are used to optimally place fire suppression resources in a presuppression role. Travel times required to reach individual cells within a forest region (attack times) are calculated using fire behavior models and attack time objective sizes or…

Statistically acceptable fire frequency models using time since fire maps are iterative and require specialized statistical and graphical routines. We introduce an automated technique for studying fire frequency usinq Geographic Information Systems' analytical capabilities. A…

'The heightened recognition within the research community of the ecological linkages between Local sites and larger spatial scales has spawned increasing calls for more holistic management of landscapes (Noss 1983, Harris 1984, Risser 1985, Norse et al 1986, Agee and Johnson…

'The complexities of ecosystem management virtually require the use of GIS technology. The need to view and analyze ecosystems at a landscape level demands the spatial capabilities that only GIS can provide. The same capabilities will assist in modeling conditions and attributes…

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…

Mapping of forest types in the Tanana river flood-plain, interior Alaska, is performed using a maximum-a-posteriori Bayesian classifier applied on SAR data acquired by the NASA/JPL three-frequency polarimetric AIRSAR system on several dates. Five vegetation types are separated,…

Investigations have shown that fires in boreal forests result in characteristic responses which are recorded on ERS-1 SAR imagery. Using one of the many fire signatures observed on ERS-1 SAR imagery, the analysis of the data revealed there is >10 dB in variation in image…
