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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

An interesting collection of reports of large fires in the Tanana Flats in 1941-1942.  Parts of the 1941 fires over-wintered and reappeared in spring 1942—an early record of this phenomenon which sparked a Research Brief in 2020: https://akfireconsortium.files.wordpress.com/2020…

From the text...'As part of a general forest-fire-research program in recent years, considerable inquiry has been made into the visibility of smoke from forest fires in an attempt to answer the questions: How far can a lookout see a smoke? What are the factors upon which this…

This research ws conducted to determine how forest-fire behavior and its controlling variables differ between altitudes throughout the day on north and south slopes. Observations were made at eight stations, six of them paired on north and south aspects of 5,500-, 3,800-, and 2,…

This study has defined actual reductions in recoverable merchantable volumes per acre in fire-killed pine stands. It has demonstrated that, when more than two years have elapsed, reductions in yield of considerable magnitude due to deterioration as a direct or indirect result of…

[from the forward] Next to crop prices, nothing is more important to the farmer's business than the weather, and in fact the weather often has a strong influence on prices. So every farmer takes a keen interest in the weather, and in many cases he is a weather prophet of no mean…

The determination of total tree age is usually based on ring counts of increment cores which ideally should pass through tree center. For several reasons the borer does not always "hit the pith," and it becomes necessary to estimate how many rings were missed. The pith locator…
