Esterle graduated in geology by the University of Kentucky, USA in 1990. Then she joined the University of Canterbury, New Zealand, as a post doctoral fellow. She started working with CSIRO since 1992, as a junior scientist in the Geomechanics Division (nowadays renowned as the Exploration and Mining Division) and then with the GeoGAS-Runge Group in Brisbane, Australia. Then in 2004 she join the team of the University of Queensland.

Esterle is known for her research on Queensland geology, in particular, on the properties of coal. She also has extensive research on the bio-influence in coal characterization and the geomorphological evolution of basins and geohazards assessment in mines.[1]
Esterle has developed 3D models to analyse the geological history of coal, to predict geohazards and applied to evaluation of gas resources, and geosequestration. She has been working with industry partners such as VALE conducting research through the Australian Coal Research Program (ACARP), The Australian National Low Emissions Coal Research, and the UQ Centre for Coal Seam Gas.
She is author of 85 peer-reviewed publications (consisting of 43 conference papers, 41 journal articles and a book chapter) [3]. She is member of the Bowen Basin Geologist's Group, and the Geological Society of Australia Coal Geology Group.
Esterle has served as coach, mentor, trainer, guide to undergraduate and post graduate students during her career in the University of Queensland [3].
Awards and honors[edit]
Esterle won the Dorothy Hill Medal from the Queensland Division of the Geological Society of Australial.[2]
In 2015 she was nominated to The Leichhardt Award for her contribution to the advancement of Coal Geology or Related Disciplines in Queensland.[3]
She was keynote speaker in the International Conference and Exhibition on Energy and Environment – Challenges and Opportunities (ENCO-2019).[4]
