Applied geomorphology is a field of science where the research outcomes provide information geomorphic landforms or processes that may be of concern to society, and, where relevant, provides solutions to problems of geomorphic context. Applied geomorphology examines geomorphic impacts that affect society, as well as society's impact on geomorphic forms and processes. The application of geomorphic knowledge to problem‐solving spans all of the classic traditions of geomorphology and is useful for human–environmental solutions across a broad range of geographies, including coastal shoreline erosion control, landslide risk assessments, and dam‐related river management issues. Resources, particularly maps, models, and prediction tools, provided by applied geomorphologists are useful to scientists, engineers, consultants, and decision‐makers involved with hazards, land‐use planning, natural resources, environmental management, and global environmental change. Applied geomorphologists working independently or serving on multidisciplinary advisory panels are well positioned to influence public policy to the benefit of society and the earth sciences.
