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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Aerial ignition devices to achieve resource management objectives: a look ahead

McCleese
From the text: 'As the use of prescribed fire grows, the demand for more efficient and effective methods of ignition will grow with it. Once the opportunities for fire use are recognized, program managers will have to seek more effective ways to keep up with the increasing…

Fire detection using the NOAA-series satellites

Matson, Schneider, Aldridge, Satchwell
This report discusses the potential usefulness of thermal infrared sensors onboard NOAA polar-orbiting satelites for detecting fires. In particular, the 3.8-micron channel is sensitive to high temperature sources such as fires. This paper will demonstrate how the 3.8-micron…

Principles of fire management

Vogl
Sound resource management, including fire management, cannot be based on biased information and incomplete facts. A way to become critical is to understand the basic ecological principles that underlie resource management and that are inherent in the resources under…

Ecological effects of the Wickersham Dome fire near Fairbanks, Alaska

Viereck, Dyrness
The Wickersham Dome fire occurred in late June 1971 and burned over 6,300 hectares of predominantly black spruce forest land. Shortly after the fire was controlled, studies of the effects of the fire on various components of the biotic community were under-taken. Results…

Extractable soil nutrients and permafrost under adjacent forest types in interior Alaska

Grigal
Soils in two adjacent forest stands in interior Alaska, one birch (Betula papyrifera) and the other black spruce (Picea mariana), were sampled in 2-cm increments to a depth of 50 cm. The soils had developed from the same parent material and were similar in slope and aspect. The…
