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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

The goal of this study was to better understand fire behavior and effects using remotely sensed data. This study had two components: First, we developed methods for generating spatially continuous fire progression maps using MODIS fire-detection satellite data. Second, we…

Mega-fires can adversely impact air quality in the United States and the impact is likely to become more severe in the future due to the possibly more frequent and intense mega-fires in response to the projected climate change. This study investigates mega-fires and their air…

Although representing only a small mass fraction of the emissions from biomass burning, black carbon (BC) exerts a strong influence on climate. As a component of the atmospheric aerosol, BC absorbs visible light and warms the adjacent air, potentially altering the vertical…

Soils are the foundation of terrestrial ecosystems. They provide essential nutrients, water, oxygen, heat, and physical support for the survival and growth of plants and living organisms. A soil's capacity to function within an ecosystem and adjust to land use disturbance…

Understanding the complex mechanisms controlling treeline advance or retreat in the arctic and subarctic has important implications for projecting ecosystem response to changes in climate. Changes in landcover due to a treeline biome shift would alter climate feedbacks (carbon…
