The word "geomorphology" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it to describe the study of the origin and evolution of landforms or surface features of the Earth. For example: "My professor specializes in geomorphology, the study of landforms."
When the sediment emptied into a river exceeds its carrying capacity, the river starts to "braid", in the language of fluvial geomorphology.
Indeed, because the new glaciers are located where they will be most useful, rather than where the whims of geomorphology dictate, some farms are better-off now than they used to be in the days before the natural glaciers vanished.
The ecological dynamics between the different patches within these broad scales often are driven by geomorphology (landforms), climate, and changes in land use that surround and contain the area under investigation or separate one patch from another within it.
The diversity of geomorphology, climate, and plant distribution in Switzerland provides a wide variety of settlement sites, a variety further enhanced by the country's central European location.
Until about 1950 this Davisian view held sway in geomorphology.
Glacial geology can be regarded as a branch of geomorphology, though it is such a large area of research that it stands as a distinct subdiscipline within the geologic sciences.

The Pliocene Epoch (5.3 million to 2.6 million years ago) was very similar to the present in terms of its geomorphology and climate.
The coincidence between the geology and the geomorphology of these two coastlines constitutes one of the clearest confirmations of the theory of continental drift.
He earned a B.A. in physical geography (1984) from Rowan University, Glassboro, N.J., an M.A. in coastal geomorphology (1988) from the University of Maryland, and a Ph.D. in geology (1997) from the University of Delaware.
The Clementine and Lunar Prospector spacecraft, operating in lunar polar orbits, used complementary suites of remote-sensing instruments to map the entire Moon, measuring its surface composition, geomorphology, topography, and gravitational and magnetic anomalies.
