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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Lefort, Gauthier, Bergeron
The fire history of two adjacent regions of the boreal forest, one characterized by logging (Ontario -- 510,000 ha) and the other by small scale agricultural activities (Quebec -- 140,000 ha), was studied before and after these regions were opened up to settlement in 1916. From…

Perera, Baldwin, Yemshanov, Schnekenburger, Weaver, Boychuk
Planning for old-growth forests requires answers to two large-scale questions: How much old-growth forest should exist? And where can they be sustained in a landscape? Stand-level knowledge of old-growth physiognomy and dynamics are not sufficient to answer these questions. We…

Millions of acres are burned each year by wildland fires, in spite of much effort going into fuel treatments, prevention, and fire suppression. An array of effective decision-support products, tools, and processes is needed to anticipate regional resource needs, improve resource…

This talk describes development of a physics-based mathematical and computational model to predict fire spread among structures and natural fuels (trees, shrubs and ground litter). This tool will be used to understand how fires spread in a community where both structures and…

MacGregor, González-Cabán
Of the thousands of fires that occur each year on publicly managed lands, the vast majority are suppressed by initial actions undertaken by the local administrative unit. However, on relatively rare occasions fires become exceptionally large and can result in enormous resource…
