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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Canadian forest fire danger rating system: an overview

Stocks, Lawson, Alexander, Van Wagner, McAlpine, Lynham, Dube
Forest fire danger rating research in Canada was initiated by the federal government in 1925. Five different fire danger rating systems have been developed since that time, each with increasing universal applicability across Canada. The approach has been to build on previous…

Recent fire history of the northern Quebec biomes

Payette, Morneau, Sirois, Desponts
The recent fire history of northern Quebec biomes (54 000 km2), including the northern Boreal Forest, the southern and northern Forest—Tundra, and the Shrub Tundra, was documented by examining size and dates of 20th century wildfires using tree ring techniques. Results showed…

Reconstructing fire behaviour and effects in a subalpine forest

Fryer, Johnson
(1)The behaviour of the August 1936 Galatea fire in the foothills of the Canadian Rocky Mountains was reconstructed with respect to the rate of spread, frontal-fire intensity and fuel consumption, and illustrates that tree mortality, seed dispersal distance into the burn and…

Geographic information systems: providing information for wildland fire planning

Hamilton, Salazar, Palmer
Controlling wildfires within the wildland/urban interface has proven to be the most complex challenge facing wildland fire agencies. Although program improvements to increase the efficiency of interface suppression efforts have been suggested, the availability of information…

Relative humidity measurement for fire danger rating in Canada

Flannigan, Litwin
Wet and dry bulb temperatures from ventilated and non-ventilated screens can be used to obtain realistic values of relative humidity provided the appropriate psychometric coefficient is used. However, relative humidity from non-ventilated screens are subject to significant error…
