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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Linking a dynamic vegetation model with the national fuels characterization system [poster abstract]
The Joint Fire Science Program is funding the development of a new fuels characterization system for the contiguous United States and Alaska. The new system, based on Fuel Characteristic Classes (FCCs), will provide a broad range of realistic fuel...
