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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

This infestation covers a gross timbered acreage of 1,152,000 acres or 1,800 square miles. The small number of samples and the limited number of sampling locations were sufficient to indicate a decided downward trend of the infestation. Tree mortality appears to have been…

Forest insect activity in most parts of Alaska was at a low level. Hemlock sawfly activity in southeast Alaska subsided completely and the infestation north and west of Fort Yukon caused by Ips interpunctus has declined sharply. Spruce beetle was locally active on the Kenai…

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…

At least 600 papers were published during 1956 which deal with combustion, less than half of which could reasonably be reviewed within the allotted space. Since an arbitrary selection was necessary, the important subject of detonation and shock waves has been omitted entirely;…

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…

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,…
