Robert J. Naiman

Robert J. Naiman (born 31 July 1947) is a professor in both the School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences and the College of Forest Resources at the University of Washington in Seattle. He also holds the UNESCO Chair in Sustainable Rivers at the University of Washington. Dr. Naiman was designated Eminent Ecologist by the Ecological Society of America in 2012.

Dr. Naiman is best known for his work on the ecology of rivers and riparian areas.[1] His work to understand the biogeochemical cycling and role of animals in altering river and riparian systems have been particularly influential. Dr. Naiman started researching the Queets River in Washington state in 1992 and has since been nicknamed "Dr. Queets" by the Seattle press from his continuing research on that river.

gollark: \t and \x01 and whatever style Unicode escapes are valid everywhere, not just strings.
gollark: Actually, CBOR literals.
gollark: Vowels are ignored when comparing symbol names. The float type is replaced with a ratio of two decimals. Macros but they require you to rewrite the block of code they're used in as lisp syntax. JSON literals.
gollark: Maybe… even weaker types? Integer types with crazier names and also u24s and stuff for some reason? Do operator overloading to a stupid degree in the stdlib?
gollark: Idea: C-flat language, like C but stupider somehow.
