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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Jolly, Butler
Since the introduction and adoption of a centralized suppression-oriented wildland firefighting paradigm in the US wildland firefighters have been employed to protect and manage various natural and human resources. Both wildland fire scientists and firefighters have long noted…

Reich, Broome, Cope, Fann, Johnston, Morgan, Rappold
Fire smoke is a major contributor to both particulate matter (PM) and ozone exposure in urban centers. Epidemiological, clinical, and toxicological studies have demonstrated a casual relationship between these pollutants and cardiovascular and respiratory related deaths and…

Crookston, Kurz, Reinhardt
Project Objectives: We request support from the JFSP to: 1. adapt FFE-FVS to support fire-related economic analysis by linking FFE-FVS to IASELECT (Wiitala 1992) and CHEAPOII (Horn and others 1986). IASELECT quantifies the optimal economic performance of a fire organization in…

Robichaud, Massman
Accurately modeling the duration and extent of soil heating from prescribed fires and wildfires is vital to predicting many second-order fire effects, including development of soil hydrophobicity and other biological, chemical, and physical effects. Advancements have been made…

Schultz, Duffy, Fresco
Fire activity in Alaska has increased significantly over the past several decades, and the top three years in terms of area burned have occurred since 2004. Increased fire activity has occurred coincident with novel extremes in summer weather, which strongly drive interannual…

Hood, Varner, van Mantgem
Forests represent a major source of carbon storage, drive numerous ecosystem processes, and have huge economic and social importance. Wildland and prescribed fires burn millions of forested acres annually, making accurate prediction of post-fire effects and the likelihood of…
