Eamon Doyle is an Irish scientist, science promoter, and painter, based in County Clare, where he is the official geologist for The Burren and the Cliffs of Moher, and the geopark[1] encompassing them.
[6] Doyle pursued undergraduate and postgraduate qualifications in the areas of Marine / Ocean Science and Earth Studies at University College Galway (UCG), with a focus on geology.
Doyle's work involves oversight of the geological sites of the greater Burren area, education programmes for school children and adults, including a summer Field Geology course and support for local participation in the Irish Young Scientist Exhibition, production of book and other printed material for the geopark, interaction with professional and partner bodies, and development of heritage and walking trails in the Burren.
[citation needed] Doyle worked within teams which discovered and classified a range of finds in Jamaica,[7] and was an author for several papers concerning the geology and paleontology of the west of Ireland.
In 2014, he co-authored a study with Prof. M. Williams that concluded that Galway Bay was notably smaller in extent within perhaps the last 5000–7500 years, with forests, and accompanying fauna and population, where the sea now reaches.
