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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

A multi-year active fire dataset for the tropics derived from the TRMM VIRS

Giglio, Kendall, Mack
A pan-tropical active fire dataset derived from observations made with the Visible and Infrared Scanner (VIRS), onboard the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite, is described. The dataset consists of monthly 0.5° resolution fire summary products from January 1998…

Low-level weather conditions preceding major wildfires [reprinted from 1992-93]

Brotak
From the text ... 'Knowledge of fire behavior is critical for those who control wildfires. Fire managers must know spread rates and intensity--not just to eventually contain and extinguish the fire but also to keep their fire control personnel safe. Managers realize that weather…

The Haines Index and Idaho wildfire growth

Werth, Ochoa
From the text ... 'The Haines Index is the first attempt to construct a formal fire-weather index based upon features of the lower atmosphere.Does it work?... This index uses the environmental lapse rate (temperature difference) within a layer of air coupled with its moisture…

Predicting the potential for old-growth forests by spatial simulation of landscape ageing patterns

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…
