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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

From the Final Remarks...'Designing fire prescriptions to meet today's demand for skill and professionalism requires an orderly planning process. At the start of this process, fire objectives must be derived from land managment objectives and specifically stated in terms of what…

This report discusses the potential usefulness of thermal infrared sensors onboard NOAA polar-orbiting satelites for detecting fires. In particular, the 3.8-micron channel is sensitive to high temperature sources such as fires. This paper will demonstrate how the 3.8-micron…

A method of photographing and digitizing radial growth on section rounds from destructively sampled trees for stem analysis was developed and compared in accuracy against hand measurements on those same rounds. Results indicated a high degree of correlation between photographic…

Methods are described for sampling and estimating mortality rates using strips of large-scale color aerial photography as the primary sampling unit. The methods have been designed to be used in situations where steep terrain and the lack of a radar altimeter make it very…

Urban and wildland fires propagate via ignition of discrete fuel elements.Transfer of heat from burning to nonburning fuel is strongly influenced by wind because of its effects on combustion rates, on convective flow patterns, and on radiative transfer owing to its modification…

Large suppression programs have been organized in an effort to avoid the potentially large damages from wildfires. To help determine the efficient sizes and usage of these programs, simulation models have been developed. Recent widespread implementation of one such model --…

In Canada about 1.3 million hectares (M ha) of forests are destroyed by wildfires each year, and about 63% of all these fires are man-caused. During the 1980 and 1981 fire seasons, however, about 10 M ha were damaged; estimated annual emissions from forest fires were 224 million…

The overall goal of this project is to provide park managers with information useful in understanding the land uses of the north additions. The Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) (Public Law 96-487, December 2, 1980) added additions to the former Mount…

Differential scanning calorimetry has been applied to three woody laboratory fuels studied in current wildland fire modeling research. The heat required to increase a fuel's temperature to ignition is an important modeling parameter affecting the rate of fire spread. Below 200Â…
