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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

A lower atmospheric severity index for wildland fires

Haines
Dry, unstable air increases the probability that wildland fires will become large and/or erratic. This paper describes an atmospheric index for these fires, based on the environmental lapse rate of a layer of air coupled with its moisture content. In low-elevation regions of the…

Intermediate-scale vegetation mapping an Innoko National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska using Landsat MSS digital data

Talbot, Markon
A Landsat-derived vegetation map was prepared for Innoko National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge lies within the northern boreal subzone of northwestern central Alaska. Six major vegetation classes and 21 subclasses were recognized: forest (closed needleleaf, open needleleaf,…
