由于人类的影响，地球表面正在发生深刻的变化。从某些方面衡量，人类的影响程度可与河流沉积物搬运等主要传统地貌过程的影响相媲美。这种变化正在迅速发生，没有地质先例，可能代表着一个不可逆转的过渡到一个新的和新颖的景观，我们没有经验。由于这些原因，未来景观演变的预测将越来越重要。推动现代景观变化的自然力量和社会力量的结合代表了人为力量。新地貌学是研究人为力量及其对景观的现在和可能的未来影响的学科。与人生力相关的独特属性包括意识、意图和设计。这些属性支持非经典地貌现象的发生，如景观规划，工程和管理。由人类景观变化引起的短时间尺度现象的发生，这种变化对社会的直接影响，以及预测和有意影响全球景观未来轨迹的能力，都强调了预测在新地貌世界中的重要性。
The surface of the earth is undergoing profound change due to human impact. By some measures the level of human impact is comparable to the effects of major classical geomorphic processes such as fluvial sediment transport. This change is occurring rapidly, has no geologic precedent, and may represent an irreversible transition to a new and novel landscape with which we have no experience. For these reasons prediction of future landscape evolution will be of increasing importance. The combination of physical and social forces that drive modern landscape change represents the Anthropic Force. Neogeomorphology is the study of the Anthropic Force and its present and likely future effects on the landscape. Unique properties associated with the Anthropic Force include consciousness, intention and design. These properties support the occurrence of nonclassical geomorphic phenomena, such as landscape planning, engineering, and management. The occurrence of short time-scale phenomena induced by anthropic landscape change, the direct effects of this change on society, and the ability to anticipate and intentionally influence the future trajectory of the global landscape underscore the importance of prediction in a neogeomorphic world.
