Dr Ashley Kingsborough is a chartered environmental engineer who has worked on Water Resource Management and Climate Change Adaptation projects in Australia, the UK, South-East Asia and the Pacific. He has experience in the private sector, government and academia and is interested in addressing complex resource management problems. Ashley’s DPhil at Oxford University, Urban climate change adaptation pathways for short to long term decision-making (2016), demonstrated an innovative approach to urban climate change adaptation in London. His thesis contributed to the literature on urban climate change, adaptation, planning under conditions of uncertainty and the evidence base needed to justify long term planning and realise the benefits of climate risk reduction through the implementation of flexible, long-term integrated urban adaptation plans. Ashley holds a Bachelor of Science and a Bachelor of Engineering with first class honours from the University of Adelaide, and a Master of Science in Environmental Change and Management from Oxford University. Ashley is currently working in the Water and River Murray Division of the Department for Environment and Water in South Australia where he provides advice on policy and strategy development in relation to the River Murray.
