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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

'In improving a system, one has to design the improvements, experiment and redesign, implement the new system, and evaluate it. I am going to discuss the concepts and constraints we encounter in designing improvements to our systems of appraising fire impact on resource values.'

The particulate plume from the power plant of Great Canadian Oil Sands, Ltd. was observed using a mobile laser radar (LIDAR). Thirteen Eulerian average cross sections were obtained from which the horizontal and vertical dispersion coefficients, plume rise and plume bearing were…

Describes a theoretical model for calculating thermochemical properties of the gaseous fuel that burns in the free flame at the edge of a spreading fire in fine forest fuels. Predicted properties are the heat of combustion, stoichiometric air/fuel mass ratio, mass-averaged…

The objective of this report is to summarize the current state-of-knowledge of the effects of forest burning on the air resource, and to define research questions of high priority for the management of smoke from prescribed and wild fires. Our purpose was to provide background…

Particulate matter and aromatic hydrocarbon emissions from the controlled combustion of alpha pinene
Combustion of a forest fuel complex produces a diverse mixture of oxygenated and unsaturated hydrocarbon compounds mixed with aerosols. This study examines the production rates for a number of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) precursor compounds produced from the controlled…
