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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

We propose to expand the Northwest Fire Research Clearinghouse (FIREHouse) (see http://www.fs.fed.us/pnw/ fera/firehouse) to include projects relevant specifically to fire management in Alaska. FIREHouse was originally funded by the Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP) in 2003 (…

This proposal responds to Task 1 of the second Announcement for Proposals (AFP) authorized by the Joint Fire Science Program Governing Board in 2003, which calls for projects that would obtain time-sensitive information following wildland fire incidents related to the effects of…

Wildland fires are a major contributor of particulate matter and other pollutants to the atmosphere. The new EPA Clean Air Act and the Regional Haze Rule require quantifying accurately the emissions of PM2.5 and other pollutants from fires and their impacts on regional haze and…

Project Objectives For at least 5 different major classes of fuels typically involved in residual smoldering combustion (RSC) and two different moisture content conditions dispersed over at least 10 different sites. Four of these will be in the western USA, 3 in the southeast, 2…

The goals of this proposal are to extend an existing JFSP Rapid Response Study (JFSP# 03-S-al) for an additional twelve-month period. Additional funding requested will provide the opportunity for two additional full deployments of the Rapid Response Team, including the airborne…

The Alaska Interagency Fire Management Plan promulgates policy objectives that recognize the ecological importance of perpetuating natural fire regimes. The same policy also directs land managers to balance the protection of ecological principles with appropriate risk management…

We propose a rapid response project to collect fire behavior, fire effects, and fuels data from five 2003 active 2004 wildfires across the US. It is critical that field and remotely sensed data be collected soon (two weeks to the first growing season) after wildfires are burning…

This project aims to use data from the 2004 fires in Alaska to link pre-fire vegetation composition and soil conditions with patterns of burn severity and post-fire stand rehabilitation. The primary objective is to examine how variations in burn severity can influence patterns…

Many areas of the boreal forest of Alaska contain deep layers of moss, duff, and peat, resulting in a large pool of biomass that potentially can burn and smolder for long periods of time creating hazardous smoke episodes for local residents and communities and causing…
