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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

One of the frequently encountered characteristics of the boreal landscape is the extremely abrupt demarcation of soil-vegetation types. Sharp differentiation of plant communities may be caused by a number of conditions, such as severe fires, irregularities in drainage, invasion…

Accurately modeling the duration and extent of soil heating from prescribed fires and wildfires is vital to predicting many second-order fire effects, including development of soil hydrophobicity and other biological, chemical, and physical effects. Advancements have been made…

Fire activity in Alaska has increased significantly over the past several decades, and the top three years in terms of area burned have occurred since 2004. Increased fire activity has occurred coincident with novel extremes in summer weather, which strongly drive interannual…

Forests represent a major source of carbon storage, drive numerous ecosystem processes, and have huge economic and social importance. Wildland and prescribed fires burn millions of forested acres annually, making accurate prediction of post-fire effects and the likelihood of…

Discusses the effects of snow cover on the behavior, migration and species survival of caribou, from field studies in southern Mackenzie and Keewatin Districts during the winter 1957-58. Snow observation records were taken at 114 stations, caribou distribution was plotted during…

The boreal forest of North America is especially liable to destruction by fires. It is a region in which forest fires have been extremely common and wide spreading. Lightning is certainly one of the causes of fires but man, both aboriginal and white, has been an even more…

A field study of reindeer-range relationships on St. Matthew Island in the Bering Sea was made during the summer of 1957. Population counts showed that the reindeer herd had increased from the original stocking of 29 animals in 1944, to number approximately 1,350 animals in…

Arctic permafrost soils contain about half of the global soil organic C (approx. 1300 Pg). One third of this C is stored in subducted organic matter (cryoOM) by the cryoturbation processes. We here present results from…

Prioritising investments to minimise or mitigate natural hazards such as wildfires and storms is of increasing importance to hazard managers. Prioritisation of this type can be strengthened by considering benefit and cost impacts. To evaluate benefits and costs, managers require…

This paper presents a burned area mapping algorithm based on change detection of Sentinel-1 backscatter data guided by thermal anomalies. The algorithm self-adapts to the local scattering conditions and it is robust to variations of input data availability. The algorithm applies…
