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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

A steady-state technique for studying the properties of free-burning wood fires

Fons, Bruce, Pong
A laboratory study was set up by the U.S. Forest Service with the ultimate objective of determining model laws for properties of wood fires, including rate of spread. This is a report of the first phase of the work, the development of a suitable bed of solid fuel and the…

Principles of fire ecology

Kobziar, Hiers, Belcher, Bond, Enquist, Loudermilk, Miesel, O'Brien, Pausas, Hood, Keane, Morgan, Pingree, Riley, Safford, Seijo, Varner, Wall, Watts
Fire ecology is a complex discipline that can only be understood by integrating biological, physical, and social sciences. The science of fire ecology explores wildland fire’s mechanisms and effects across all scales of time and space. However, the lack of defined, organizing…

Wildfire-induced risk assessment to enable resilient and sustainable electric power grid

Kovvuri, Chatterjee, Basumallik, Srivastava
To ensure the sustainability of the future power grid, the rate of expansion of distributed energy resources (DERs) has introduced operational challenges. These include managing transmission constraints with DER power injection, dispatching DERs efficiently, managing system…

Current status of research on wildland fire impacts on soil environment and soil organisms and hotspots visualization analysis

Cheng, Wu, Wei, Pan, Fu, Lu, Yang
Ecosystems are frequently disturbed by fires that have an important impact on the soil environment and the composition of soil organisms. In order to provide a baseline for the current research and identify trends on the effects of wildland fire on soil environment and…

Investigating the impact of wildfires on lake water quality using earth observation satellites

Caroni, Pinardi, Free, Stroppiana, Parigi, Tellina, Bresciani, Albergel, Giardino
A study was carried out to investigate the effects of wildfires on lake water quality using a source dataset of 2024 lakes worldwide, covering different lake types and ecological settings. Satellite-derived datasets (Lakes_cci and Fire_cci) were used and a Source Pathway…

Mental health and traumatic occupational exposure in wildland fire dispatchers

Verble, Granberg, Pearson, Rogers, Watson
Wildland fire dispatchers play a key role in wildland fire management and response organization; however, to date, wildland fire studies have largely focused on the physical hazards and, to a lesser extent, mental health hazards of wildland firefighting operational personnel,…
