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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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 Nenana Ridge Experimental Fuels Treatment Project was funded by the Joint Fire Science Program and designed to quantify the effects of fuels reduction treatments on fire behavior and post-fire vegetation dynamics in Alaska black spruce. This project began in 2006 with…

Fuel moistures samples along with along with duff (forest floor) consumption measurements were collected before and after the Nenana Ridge Prescribed Research Burn. These results are important as forest floor biomass and moisture are key components of fire in boreal ecosystems…

Fire proof camera boxes and sensor packages (designed to collect data on air temperature, heat energy transfer, and air flow) were installed to monitor fire behavior for the Nenana Ridge Research Burn. Aerial infrared images (used to sense heat) were also collected from a…
