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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

We propose to hold a workshop to train approximately ten smoke modeling specialists who would be available thereafter to support wildland fire incidents on a regional scale, similar to the role the AirFire Team played for the 2011 fires in the Southwestern US. The workshop will…

Smoke emissions from wild and prescribed fires can be a significant contributor to regional haze and to urban and regional air pollution. Fires directly emit particulate matter; they also emit gases that react in the atmosphere to form secondary organic aerosol (SOA). There is…
