In recent years, considerable advances have been made in the understanding of fluvial processes at both the catchment/slope scale and the river/floodplain scale.

In terms of spatial scales (small catchments to large river basins) it has a broad scope, and includes modelling studies, monitoring and palaeo-environmental studies.
