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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

PLUMP: a plume predictor and cloud model for fire managers

Latham
PLUMP is a general -purpose, one-dimensional plume rise model for wildfire and prescribed fire planning. It calculates the characteristics of fire plu8mes, including vertical velocity, water content, excess temperature, rain, and ice. The model can also be used to determine the…

GIS as a catalyst for effective public involvement in ecosystem management decision-making

Cornett
'The complexities of ecosystem management virtually require the use of GIS technology. The need to view and analyze ecosystems at a landscape level demands the spatial capabilities that only GIS can provide. The same capabilities will assist in modeling conditions and attributes…

Prescribed crown fire effects on bighorn sheep habitat in Alberta [abstract]

Woodard, Michalsky
A stand replacing crown fire was set in 1983 for the purpose of increasing the quality and quantity of a bighorn sheep range on Ram Mountain, Alberta. The area burned was a 250-year-old white spruce (Picea glauca [Moench] Voss) stand in close proximity to escape terrain and…

The truth about Smokey Bear

Joslin
'Smokey Bear, America's 'forest fire preventin' bear' for fifty years, has taken a lot of undeserved heat lately. Wildland fire management professionals--especially fire prevention professionals--must understand that heat and counter it to preserve Smokey's effectiveness.'

Chaos on the fireline

McAlpine, Wotton
Forest fire perimeters, in both Canada and the United States are predicted with an elliptical growth model, or acellular growth model, that emulates an ellipse. Recently it has been shown that the fractal dimension, a measure of line "wiggliness", anda subdivision ofthe science…

Interpreting and using outputs from the Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System in research applications

Wotton
Understanding and being able to predict forest fire occurrence, fire growth and fire intensity are important aspects of forest fire management. In Canada fire management agencies use the Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System (CFFDRS) to help predict these elements of forest…
