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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Up in smoke: exploring the relationship between forest firefighting and subsistence harvest

Shanks Rodrigues
Wildland firefighting in Alaska is changing due to the impact of climate change on the boreal forest. Changes to the wildland firefighting regime could have significant impacts on community participation during fall subsistence hunting and, consequentially, food security levels…

Wildfire mapping in interior Alaska using deep neural networks on imbalanced datasets

Langford, Kumar, Hoffman
Wildfires are the dominant disturbance impacting many regions in Alaska and are expected to intensify due to climate change. Accurate tracking and quantification of wildfires are important for climate modeling and ecological studies in this region. Remote sensing platforms (e.g…

A response to 'Clarifying the meaning of mantras in wildland fire behaviour modelling: reply to Cruz et al. (2017)'

Cruz, Alexander, Sullivan
This paper represents our response to the questioning by Mell et al. (2018) of our interpretation (Cruz et al. 2017) of five generalised statements or mantras commonly repeated in the wildland fire behaviour modelling literature. We provide further clarity on key subjects and…

Using motion pictures for data collection on prescribed burning experiments

Pickford, Sandberg
A simple, inexpensive, and relatively accurate photographic method for date collection is described. Objects of interest are triangulated from films taken simultaneously at two camera positions. Accumulated synchronization and measurement errors amounted to 0.2 - 0.5 meter. The…
