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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Dual-dataset deep learning for improved forest fire detection: a novel hierarchical domain-adaptive learning approach

El-Madafri, Peña, Olmedo-Torre
This study introduces a novel hierarchical domain-adaptive learning framework designed to enhance wildfire detection capabilities, addressing the limitations inherent in traditional convolutional neural networks across varied forest environments. The framework innovatively…

Deep learning approach to improve spatial resolution of GOES-17 wildfire boundaries using VIIRS satellite data

Badhan, Shamsaei, Ebrahimian, Bebis, Lareau, Rowell
The rising severity and frequency of wildfires in recent years in the United States have raised numerous concerns regarding the improvement in wildfire emergency response management and decision-making systems, which require operational high temporal and spatial resolution…

Ecophysical and demographic studies of white spruce Picea glauca (Moench) Voss at treeline in the central Brooks Range of Alaska

Goldstein
[Not the abstract; do not cite.] Primarily dedicated to the influence of climate on white spruce near treeline; dendrochronological samples were used to reconstruct stand age and describe the history of disturbance for treeline stands of white spruce in the south-central Brooks…

Large fire winds, gases and smoke

Palmer
Experimental, free-burning wood fires larger than 5 ha were similar in convection column volume after the initial buoyant, ring-vortex rose from the ground. The fire generated strong vorticity patterns which propagated upward into the convection column. The rotation suppressed…

Aspects of the mechanisms of smoke generation by burning materials

Bankston, Zinn, Browner, Powell
This paper is concerned with the investigation of the detailed aspects of smoke generation during the burning of natural and synthetic solid materials under simulated fire conditions. With this objective in mind, the first portion of the paper is devoted to a review of relevant…
