  • Thirteenth North American Crane Workshop
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE THIRTEENTH NORTH AMERICAN CRANE WORKSHOP 14-17 April 2014 Lafayette, Louisiana FRONTISPIECE. Gary Krapu, Research Wildlife Biologist Emeritus, USGS Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center, received the L. H. WALKINSHAW CRANE CONSERVATION AWARD in recognition of his career-long work to better understand the needs of sandhill cranes in the Platte River ecosystem; initiate a comprehensive, long-term research program to guide conservation and management of the Mid-continental Population of sandhill cranes; and for collaborative research efforts with biologists of other nations to guide international conservation of cranes. The Award was presented by Jane Austin, President of the North American Crane Working Group, on 17 April 2014. Gary received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Animal Ecology from Iowa State University. He was employed as a Research Wildlife Biologist at Northern Prairie under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and U.S. Geological Survey from 1968 until his retirement in 2011 and in emeritus status thereafter. While at Northern Prairie, he also conducted studies on waterfowl, including wetland habitat requirements, role of stored nutrients in waterfowl reproduction, brood habitat use and factors influencing duckling survival, waterfowl nutrition, and staging ecology of white-fronted geese. He continues to conduct research on sandhill cranes at Northern Prairie, primarily studying population dynamics of the Mid-continent Population and the geographic distribution and ecology of sandhill cranes breeding in Russia and western Alaska.

  • December 2009 PROPWASH Colour
    From the editor— Bruce Dyer DECEMBER 2009 ith the Centennial Year of Flight almost over and the year 2010 on the horizon, I try to imagine the technological advances that will W evolve in the aerospace industries in millenniums to come. But, future breakthroughs in aerospace systems will occur only if tradition- ally separate disciplines -- nanotechnology, biotechnology and infotechnology -- are integrated. In the next generation, NASA will create ultra- efficient, reliable spacecraft, while decreasing costs. One project that is currently being worked on is the transfer of air transport technology's analog systems to more efficient digital. NASA's autonomous space vehicles of the future will be able to travel in space for up to two years, resisting adverse climates and conditions. As 'thinking spacecraft,' they will be networked as colonies, able to exchange and interpret information, from analyzing a glitch to being able to repair themselves. But developing such intelligent aerospace systems will only occur if the three "revolutionary" technologies are integrated and they will overturn current patterns. Nanotechnology aims to create useful materials and systems through control of matter at the smallest scales. Biotech- nology applies knowledge and techniques that mimic biological systems to produce engineering applications like precise molecular control. And greater progress in infotechnology will enable spacecraft to process data along a hierarchy of knowledge, just as humans do, from sensing the environment to responding accordingly. Research is well on the way to develop newer fuels and fuel blends that will be used to power aircraft engines. Exotic propulsion systems are in the development stages that will propel space vehicles into the far reaches of the universe.
