Biomorphodynamic interactions, the feedback loops that operate between physical processes, biology and morphology, affect the long‐term evolution of estuaries. This paper outlines how consideration of such interactions and implementation through innovative modelling techniques can become the next crucial step needed to advance understanding of estuarine evolution.
