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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Adaptation of the Fuels and Fire Extension to the Forest Vegetation Simulator to meet the Objectives of the Joint Fire Science Program

Crookston, Kurz, Reinhardt
Project Objectives: We request support from the JFSP to: 1. adapt FFE-FVS to support fire-related economic analysis by linking FFE-FVS to IASELECT (Wiitala 1992) and CHEAPOII (Horn and others 1986). IASELECT quantifies the optimal economic performance of a fire organization in…

Assessing Values of Air Quality and Visibility at Risk from Wildland Fire

Sandberg, Ferguson
The primary objective of this work is to assess the local, regional, and national risks to air quality and visibility from wildland fire. This will be done by generating and analyzing statistics of daily and nightly variability of surface wind, mixing height, and dispersion…

Development of a Flexible, Standardized Methodology for Optimizing Fuel Treatment Programs Across Space and Time

Dean
Project Objectives: The overall objective of this project is to construct a fully functional decision support system that wildland managers can use to develop optimal or near-optimal fuel treatment prescriptions. The task of accomplishing this goal has been divided into a number…

Climate Variability and Associated Wildfire Implications

Brenner, Masters
In order to keep our focus and avoid unnecessary mission creep that could ultimately prevent us from achieving our objectives, we plan to invite specific personnel and agencies to this work shop. Our plan is to place three focal points at the workshop to represent the…
