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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

From the Introduction:'Research in the field of forest fire protection almost inevitably necessitates a requirement for meteorological data. While many projects utilize on-site observations taken concurrently with the experiment, there also exists a considerable requirement for…

Two wildfires in Ontario in 1971 are analyzed with respect to fire weather, fuel conditions and fire behavior, including rate of spread, fuel consumption and fire intensity. No attempt is made to assess suppression techniques or to discuss fire control costs.

Numerical and analytical soluations of the Fickian diffusion equation were used to determine the effects of precipitation on dead cylindrical forest fuels. The analytical solution provided a physical framework. The numerical solutions were then used to refine the analytical…

The long-established zonal divisions of the boreal forest-forest-tundra, open woodland, and closed forest-are examined in the light of new information about energy income and of satellite photographs of the divisions themselves. The North American divisions are found to lie…

The National Fire-Danger Rating (NFDR) System produces three indexes-Occurrence, Burning, and Fire Load-that measure relative fire potentials. These indexes are derived from the fire behavior components-Spread, Energy Release, and Ignition-plus a consideration of Risk. Three…
