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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Equations are presented by which to calculate the maximum firebrand particle lofting height from wind-driven line fires in surface fuels. Variables used are the fuel type, described as one of twelve stylized models used for fire behavior prediction, the fire intensity, and the…

Documents the analysis of wind tunnel experiments on fire spread that produced a double ellipse concept of fire area growth. This provides ways of estimating size (area), shape (perimeter), and length to width ratio of a wind-driven wild land fire. The only inputs needed are…

Residual char from 76 test burns of wood dowels showed unexpectedly wide variation in density. Variation could not be correlated with initial fuel density, burn time, nor incident windspeed.

The forests of the Wapiti map area, Alberta, were studied to ascertain relationships among forest growth, plant community distribution, and environmental factors within the western boreal and subalpine forests. Quantitative data on tree productivity, vegetation, and soils were…

'The Forest Fire Research Institute has been studying the use of air tankers in fire control for several years. The most recent project involves the development of a computer simulation model to determine air tanker productivity (Simard, 1975). As part of that project, an…

From the Introduction ... 'A main theme of eusociality is division of labor (Wilson 1971, 1975), which can be based on physiological differences (as in the case of the reproductive queen and sterile workers), morphological (size) differences among workers, or age differences…

Recent vegetation change in the grasslands of southern British Columbia is examined using pollen analysis, and the results are compared with documentary records. The increasing dominance of the grasslands after 1890 by Artemisia tridentata and other woody shrubs has often been…

The motion of a strong line thermal in an unstratified atmosphere is modeled to estimate a bound for its capability to life firebrand particles. It is found that the maximum height of a viable firebrand is roughly proportional to the square root of thermal strength. The…
