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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Some environmental effects of forest fires in interior Alaska

Eaton, Wendler
The high variablility of burning conditions and fuels, found in Alaskan forest fires, produces an associated complex emission of particulate matter. Histological evidence of some large particles has been found in the forest fire plumes as well as aerosols resulting apparently…

Ecophysical and demographic studies of white spruce Picea glauca (Moench) Voss at treeline in the central Brooks Range of Alaska

Goldstein
[Not the abstract; do not cite.] Primarily dedicated to the influence of climate on white spruce near treeline; dendrochronological samples were used to reconstruct stand age and describe the history of disturbance for treeline stands of white spruce in the south-central Brooks…

Large fire winds, gases and smoke

Palmer
Experimental, free-burning wood fires larger than 5 ha were similar in convection column volume after the initial buoyant, ring-vortex rose from the ground. The fire generated strong vorticity patterns which propagated upward into the convection column. The rotation suppressed…

Aspects of the mechanisms of smoke generation by burning materials

Bankston, Zinn, Browner, Powell
This paper is concerned with the investigation of the detailed aspects of smoke generation during the burning of natural and synthetic solid materials under simulated fire conditions. With this objective in mind, the first portion of the paper is devoted to a review of relevant…
