“…Third, the case study reinforces the need to understand how science can reify certain ways of living with nature. Inevitably, river scientists such as geomorphologists build upon selected societal and environmental values in framing their research questions and proposing interventions (e.g., Ashmore, ; King & Tadaki, ; Lave, ; Mould, Fryirs, & Howitt, ). Choices made have material outcomes.…”

The granting of rights to the Whanganui River in 2017 emerged as an outcome of Tribunal hearings relating to breaches of the Treaty of Waitangi, signed between Māori chiefs and the British Crown in 1840. As this expression of a river as having legal personhood with rights reflects a distinctively Māori perspective upon river systems, it offers the prospect for a new era of sociocultural approaches to river management in Aotearoa New Zealand. Using the Whanganui River as a case study, this paper explores prospective geomorphic meanings of river rights. The paper asks, “What role can geomorphology play in identifying, articulating and protecting the rights of a river?” Ancestral Māori relations to the river based upon mutual codependence (reciprocity) are juxtaposed against geomorphic understandings of a river's agency as expressed through self‐adjustment, diversity of form, evolution, and catchment‐scale connectivities. Relations between river science and indigenous concepts of rivers, framed under the auspices of river rights, present opportunities for different approaches to river management.

“…On the one hand lie the reluctance of some natural scientists to engage with explicitly normative positions (Brand & Jax, 2007; Turner, 2014). Critical physical geography (and political ecology work that intersects with science and technology studies) offers constructive criticism to this position, providing frameworks to reveal the inherently political nature of scientific research (Forsyth, 2003; Goldman et al., 2011; King & Tadaki, 2018; Law, 2018). The upshot is an approach to resilience that can foreground normative positions and see the value in using empirical science to support social justice.…”

“…Critical physical geography is emerging as a distinct approach that, inter alia , pays attention to how scientific knowledge is constructed, including by challenging the common assumption that science can ever be politically neutral and by highlighting that the power to influence what scientists study is not distributed equally between people or environments (e.g. King and Tadaki, 2018; Lave et al ., 2018). These considerations overlap with new geomorphological subdisciplinary themes such as ethnogeomorphology (e.g.…”

Within and beyond academia, debates around equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) have been gathering pace. We focus on EDI and geomorphology and address four main questions: (1) why does EDI matter for geomorphology?; (2) what are the barriers to greater EDI in geomorphology?; (3) how can we address these EDI barriers?; (4) can we ensure a resilient future for geomorphology by addressing EDI? At a time of critical environmental, social and economic transition, we contend that addressing EDI is essential for ensuring a resilient geomorphology, defined here as a discipline that is seen to be adapting to these changing external circumstances so that it remains relevant, vibrant and accessible to a wide cross‐section of society. Not doing so will limit the intellectual development of geomorphology, incur reputational risk for geomorphological groups and organizations like the British Society for Geomorphology, and ensure that the many potential benefits of geomorphology for science and society remain underutilized at best. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
