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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Remote sensing of total and surface burn ratios following a wildfire in East Siberia using 30m - 1km resolution images

Kushida, Isaev, Takao, Maximov, Fukuda
We evaluated the estimation of the area ratios of the land categories including the total-burn/wither and surface-burn areas following a wildfire in East Siberia. We obtained the land classification from 30-m resolution Landsat ETM+ image data and used it for evaluating the…

Assessing the causes, consequences and spatial variability of burn severity: a rapid response proposal - Final Report to the Joint Fire Science Program

Morgan, Hudak, Robichaud, Ryan
In this rapid response project, we have collected data on post-fire effects and pre-fire fuels and vegetation from 10 large fires that burned in 2003 and 2004. We use field and remotely sensed data collected during and soon after wildfires to quantify the interactions and…

Remote sensing information for fire management and fire effects assessment

Chuvieco, Kasischke
Over the past decade, much research has been carried out on the utilization of advanced geospatial technologies (remote sensing and geographic information systems) in the fire science and fire management disciplines. Recent advances in these technologies were the focus of a…

Improving the prediction of wildfire potential in boreal Alaska with satellite imaging radar

Bourgeau-Chavez, Garwood, Riordan, Cella, Alden, Kwart, Murphy
Alaska currently relies on the Canadian Fire Weather Index (FWI) System for the assessment of the potential for wildfire and although it provides invaluable information it is designed as a single system that does not account for the varied fuel types and drying conditions (day…
