Summary
Colin Doyle is a Chief Innovation Officer and scientist with eight years of experience building near real-time and historic flood monitoring systems that combine satellite remote sensing, GIS, and geochemical insights. He leads research and prototyping at Floodbase to translate Earth observation data into operational flood risk products for insurance and disaster response, having previously developed the platform as Director of Technology. Trained as a geographer (PhD, MA) and environmental biologist (BS), Colin blends field-based paleoenvironmental and isotopic methods with cutting-edge remote sensing—an uncommon mix that informs both long-term environmental change studies and practical flood analytics. His background includes research roles at NASA Goddard and university projects in Mesoamerica, reflecting a track record of moving scientific techniques from labs and field sites into scalable, real-world monitoring systems. Based in Austin, he is comfortable bridging academia, government, and industry to accelerate actionable environmental intelligence.
