Esther Stouthamer is a Professor at Utrecht University specializing in Delta Evolution and Subsurface Processes. Her research focuses on Holocene natural and human-influenced evolution of deltas over time scales ranging from 10⁶ to 10⁹ years. Stouthamer's general aims include determining and quantifying the relative contributions of external forcings such as tectonics, climate, sea level, and water-sediment inputs, as well as internal controls like avulsion, compaction, and morphological succession on the long-term development of deltas. A significant aspect of her work involves investigating the evolution of the Rhine-Meuse delta, utilizing a unique dataset that enables the study of the generic characteristics and controls of delta evolution worldwide. Additionally, she is a co-leader of the Water, Climate & Future Deltas Community, which is part of the strategic theme 'Pathways to Sustainability' at Utrecht University.
