Amber Wutich is an American anthropologist who is President's Professor and the Director of the Center for Global Health at Arizona State.

Her doctoral research considered the impact of water scarcity on sociability in Cochabamba, and involved a year as a Fulbright scholar in Bolivia.

[3] Wutich's early work considered Cochabamba, where water shortages occurred because of migration from a nearby mining community.

[1] She founded the Global Ethnohydrology Study,[5] which collects local knowledge about water insecurity in over twenty countries.

She created standardized techniques to collect and analyze data, which involved developing meaningful assessment methods across culturally distinct regions.
