This progress report on the discipline of fluvial geomorphology reviews 147 papers published in 21 key journals during the calendar years of 2006 and 2007. Papers are grouped by themes to cover 10 subject areas. The themes were chosen by classifying all geomorphological articles published in a single leading journal for the same period, of which (44%) were within the subject area of fluvial geomorphology. Themes (in order of number contributing to the total) were: ‘River management, restoration and effects of vegetation on fluvial systems’; ‘Soil erosion and control’; ‘Fluvial hydraulics’; ‘Fluvial sediment transport’; ‘Gully and hillslope sediment transfer’; ‘Modelling the fluvial environment’; ‘River regulation, channel change and human influences’; ‘Advances in methodology in fluvial geomorphology’; ‘Bank erosion in fluvial systems’; and ‘Holocene fluvial chronology’.
