Abstract From the heated debates over the airborne transmission of the novel coronavirus to the abrupt Earth system changes caused by the sudden lockdowns, the dire circumstances resulting from the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic have brought the field of GeoHealth to the forefront of visibility in science and policy. The pandemic has inadvertently provided an opportunity to study how human response has impacted the Earth system, how the Earth system may impact the pandemic, and the capacity of GeoHealth to inform real‐time policy. The lessons learned throughout our responses to the COVID‐19 pandemic are shaping the future of GeoHealth. Key Points The COVID‐19 pandemic has brought the field of GeoHealth to the forefront of visibility, especially by informing disease mitigation policies The pandemic provides an opportunity to observe how changes in human behavior have impacted the Earth system The pandemic is helping GeoHealth identify areas of future growth in data availability, environmental justice, and scientific communication
