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 The database provides a listing of fire research publications relevant to Alaska and a venue for sharing unpublished agency reports and works in progress that are not normally found in the published literature.

Multi-stakeholder planning and prioritization for ecosystem management and wildfire risk mitigation are complicated by the need to balance a multitude of values, goals, viewpoints, and interests across large landscapes. Doing so requires quantifying current conditions, defining…

Chronic health effects of wildfire PM2.5 on neurodevelopmental outcomes are largely unknown. Therefore, the effects of wildfire PM2.5 on autism were assessed in a southern California-based pregnancy cohort using Cox proportional hazard models. Exposure was estimated from 2006 to…

Extreme wildfires are escalating in frequency and intensity as climate change, land abandonment, and decades of fire suppression create landscapes primed to burn. Yet wildfire management remains largely absent from the global nature-based solutions (NbSs) agenda. This…

Background: Despite progress in reducing industrial air pollution, rising wildfire frequency and intensity, driven in part by climate change, pose significant health risks. Accurate estimates of wildfire-generated fine particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter <2.5μm (…

Governance plays a critical role at the intersection of disaster risk management (DRM) and climate change (CC). As CC increases the frequency and intensity of disasters, so DRM policies must consider the potential impacts of CC and integrate climate resilience measures. Over the…

Earth observation (EO) satellites offer significant potential in wildfire detection and assessment due to their ability to provide fine spatial, temporal, and spectral resolutions. Over the past decade, satellite data have been systematically utilized to monitor wildfire…

Background: Wildland firefighters are exposed to hazards when working which can, and do, result in serious injury or death. Understanding the activities in which firefighters are engaged when they are injured, the hazards to which they were exposed during that activity and the…

Forest managers need stand-level forest inventories to make operational decisions and model growth and yield to inform long-term planning. However, few studies have quantified errors in field sampling- and airborne laser scanning (ALS)-derived inventories at the stand level,…

Background: In collaborative governance, many of the factors that give rise to the need for collaboration are also identified by scholars as undermining its effectiveness. Complex task environments mean that multiple and varied interests are necessary to address problems, but…

As wildfires increasingly affect us in Oregon, more people and organizations are working to create fire-adapted communities. A fire-adapted community is aware of its risks and takes collaborative actions to reduce the likelihood of losses. Practitioners support fire-adapted…
