Martin Doyle (ecologist)

Martin W. Doyle is a Professor of River Systems Science and Policy at the Independent Institute and the Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions of Duke University.

Education

Martin Doyle received a Bachelor's degree in Physics and Applied Mathematics from Harding University in 1995,[1] followed by a master's in environmental engineering from the University of Mississippi in 1997,[2] and a Ph.D. in geomorphology from Purdue University in 2002.[3]

Professional career

From 2009 to 2010 Doyle was a Frederick J. Clarke Scholar with the United States Army Corps of Engineers[4] and then joined University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill[5] as Assistant professor of geography, being promoted to Associate professor in 2006.[6]

In 2012, Doyle worked with Jim Heffernan, Marco Marani, and Brian McGlynn to examine the effect of multi-year droughts on water supply networks in the southeastern United States.[7]

From 2013 to present, he worked with Lauren Patterson, investigating the target levels and management goals over time of water control systems built by the United States Army Corps of Engineers such as those in the Jordan and Fall rivers of North Carolina.[8]

In January 2015 Doyle was appointed as the senior conservation finance fellow at the Natural Resource Investment Center,[9] a branch of the United States Department of the Interior.[10]

In 2018 Doyle studied the anatomy of Hurricane Hugo, to predict the aftermath of Hurricane Florence which had a landfall in Durham, North Carolina. He predicted that the water would begin to drain in Jordan Lake and Falls Lake as well as its connections Neuse River and Cape Fear River.[11]
