description This is an introduction to a special issue arising from the 8th International Conference on Gully Erosion, held in Townsville, Australia in 2019. Research has improved understanding of gully erosion processes and increasingly emphasizes sophisticated near‐and‐remotely sensed methods to characterize and measure gullies. These data can then be analysed using equally sophisticated models and scenarios can be simulated. These advances improve the capacity to predict gully initiation and development over time and space. It is often assumed that better prediction translates into greater impact and uptake of research to solve real world gully erosion problems. Examples of impressive associations between research programmes and major gully management programmes are evident. However, there has been little assessment of the impact of gully research. We argue for a greater focus on achieving impact including interventions that better manage and prevent gully erosion. Opportunities to deliver research impact are assessed using three indicators of progression towards impact; the practical usability of research, whether it is in use by non‐researchers, and whether it is useful in guiding improvements in management. Like other natural hazards, gully erosion is a phenomenon of the social, economic and environmental context in which it occurs. Defining the contexts and consequences of gully erosion and using these to frame further research is therefore a means to increase research impact. Enhancing collaboration between research disciplines and with practitioners who act on the research, and a greater focus on the translation of results into practice, is another avenue. Expanding the monitoring and evaluation of gully management can better demonstrate the impact of past research and enable further useful investigations. We urge gully erosion researchers to consider the potential impact of their research, including how it can more effectively inform better and more cost‐effective management and political decisions. Following the 8th International Symposium on Gully Erosion we propose an increased focus on research impact on gully management and prevention, by defining the consequences of gully erosion, enhancing collaboration, focusing on use by practitioners, and expanding monitoring and evaluation.
