Engineering Geomorphology by Gareth J. Hearn is a comprehensive practical guide to applying geomorphological principles in infrastructure and civil engineering. Drawing on over 40 years of international experience, the book explains how to assess and manage landforms, surface processes, and geohazards—including landslides, flooding, coastal erosion, and sediment transport—to support safer, more sustainable engineering decisions. Through real-world case studies and an interdisciplinary approach that integrates engineering geology, hydrology, and environmental science, it demonstrates practical methods for terrain evaluation, hazard mitigation, and land-use planning. The book is an essential resource for engineers, geologists, geohazard specialists, planners, and students seeking to understand and apply engineering geomorphology in practice.
