About Daniel

Associate Professor Daniel Kingston serves in the School of Geography at the University of Otago, where his research centers on hydroclimatology, specifically the inter-relationships between the climate system and the hydrological cycle. He earned a BSc (Hons) from the University of Sheffield, an MSc from the University of East Anglia, and a PhD from the University of Birmingham. Kingston's work encompasses two primary themes: the processes connecting present-day climate variations to changes in surface hydrology, including evaporation, snow cover, river flow, and lake levels. This involves statistical analyses of historical hydrological time series and the identification of drivers of hydrological extremes, such as those linked to large-scale atmospheric circulation patterns like the Northern and Southern Annular Modes. His second focus addresses uncertainty in hydrological processes under climate change scenarios, employing offline coupling of catchment-scale hydrological models with climate model outputs to evaluate uncertainties from emissions, climate models, and hydrological models in projections of 21st-century hydrological changes and their implications for water resources.
