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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

The fires and fire policy

Schullery
From introduction: The Greater Yellowstone Area (GYA) fires of 1988 were, in the words of National Park Service (NPS) publications, the most significant ecological event in the history of the national parks (NPS 1988). Their political consequences may be as far-reaching as their…

Forest fire detection systems

Hirsch
From the text... 'An ideal forest fire detection system would detect fires the instant they start, day or night, under any condition of visibility. Additionally, it could distinguish potentially dangerous fires from those that would not concern fire suppression forces. Although…

An inventory of particulate matter and air toxic emissions from prescribed fires in the United States for 1989: final report

Peterson, Ward
In the United States, prescribed burning of wildlands is practiced on over 2 million hectares of land each year. Based on our survey conducted in 1989, approximately 70, 20, and 10% of this burning occurs in the Southeast, Pacific Northwest, and Rocky Mountain regions,…

Ecological consequences of the 1988 fires in the Greater Yellowstone area: Final Report: The Greater Yellowstone Postfire Ecological Assessment Workshop

Christensen, Agee, Brussard, Hughes, Knight, Minshall, Peek, Pyne, Swanson, Wells, Thomas, Williams, Wright
From the Executive Summary (p.iv) ... 'A coordinated program of research on the 1988 fires should be intiated immediately. The essential ingredients for such a program include an ecosystem approach to provide conceptual integration and operational coordination of many individual…

Mass fires and fire behavior

Countryman
Mass fires are being investigated through a series of large-scale test fires. Preliminary results indicate: (a) air flow patterns that create eddies can result in fire vortices when fires is present; (b) the lower part of the convection column consists of a series of small…

Mass fires and fire behavior

Countryman
The control of large fires is a problem of continuing concern to the Forest Service, other public agencies, and private owners of forest and rangeland. A few large fires each year account for all but a small share of the Nation's forest fire losses. In time of war, this problem…

Fire research resource sharing: the Canada/U.S. cooperative mass fire behavior and environmental impact study

Stocks
The expanding use of prescribed fire to achieve North American land management objectives has led, in recent years, to the increased use of helicopter-ignition, large-scale controlled burns. These mass-ignition convection burns often generate extremely intense and erratic fire…

Trace gas emissions from chaparral and boreal forest fires

Cofer, Levine, Sebacher, Winstead, Riggan, Stocks, Brass, Ambrosia, Boston
Low-level helicopter flights were used to collect samples of smoke from burning chaparral in southern California and over a boreal forest fire in norther Ontario, Canada. The smoke plume samples were analyzed for carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen (H2), methane…
