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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Synoptic study of the meteorological conditions associated with extreme wildland fire behavior

Brotak, Reifsnyder
Fifty-two major wildland fires in the eastern half of the United States were analyzed to determine the synoptic situations involved. At the surface, 3/4 of the fires were found near frontal areas. The vast majority of fires were associated with the eastern portion of small…

An approach to predicting slash fire smoke

Sandberg, Pickford
Our paper points out certain problems in current predictive methods on which most smoke management programs are based. These problems complicate research efforts to improve predictability of air quality impacts of forest burning. In addition, we offer a hypothesis, based on…
