Wildland fires are frequent events worldwide, particularly in the European-Mediterranean region, USA, and Australia. These fires have been more frequent and intense in recent years due to climate changes and may cause significant damage, especially...
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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.
An overview of the International Crown Fire Modeling Experiments in Canada's Northwest Territories.
The occurrence of wildfires often results in significant fatalities. As wildfires are notorious for their high speed of spread, the ability to identify wildfire at its early stage is essential in quickly obtaining control of the fire and in reducing...
The hazard posed by wildland-urban-interface (WUI) fires is recognized by the international fire research community and features as one of nine research need priority threads in the Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE) Research Roadmap. We posit...
Long-term assessment of severe wildfires and associated air pollution and related climate patterns in and around the Arctic is essential for assessing healthy human life status. To examine the relationships, we analyzed the National Aeronautics and...
This is the 3rd panel discussion in Season 2 of the Fueling Collaboration series. Moderator Jack McGowan-Stinski (Lake States Fire Science Consortium) discusses all things smoke. What is it? What are the messages we should be communicating? What are...

Aircraft are important fire management tools, but their use can bring substantial costs and associated risks. We developed the Aviation...
IBHS test chamber is a unique facility to study the effects of wind on fire. The test chamber area is equal to four basketball courts which allows researchers to perform large scale wind and fire tests. The test chamber is equipped with 105 fans that...
Sarah Trainor & Jeremy Littell present at the 2021 Association for Fire Ecology Conference special session: The Nexus of Climate Change and Fire: Taking Science to Action
Addressing the unprecedented challenges of climate change, wildland...
Wildland fire suppression presents a working environment that often exceeds an energy expenditure of 20 MJ/day, however maladaptive responses to adiposity and blood lipid profiles have been noted. We recruited wildland firefighters (WLFF), (n=100, 92...
