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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.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 topic of collaboration across boundaries is fitting for me and for the Forest Service because our national priorities revolve around just that-collaboration across boundaries-especially when it comes to wildland fire. We are committed to improving the conditions of the…

Water supports, defines, and integrates the biological and physical worlds around us and in turn, the biological and physical worlds change water. The forested landscape serves as a critical linkage in the water cycle and it is a landscape that is intensely manipulated by humans…
