50% Peer Review - Jake Great Start! Some Suggestions: 1) The history section might be a little long (if our papers are supposed to be modeled after a wiki page) 2) In the 5th paragraph you mention Schumm described the components of the fluvial system in three parts… what are they? You mentioned one of them. 3) Table 1, did you create? If not, is a citation needed? 4) In the Direct intervention in channel management section you mention Hey resistant function, what is that? 5) Might consider making your figures larger, they are hard to read at current size 6) Figure 3 needs a title

50% Review - Jessica Hi Lyle,

First off, your paper looks great! I love the professional formatting, figures, and tables. Here are a few comments:

- "is the study of streams and their interaction with the geologic terrain it has formed therein" has a small grammatical error; I think "it has" should be "they have"

- Make sure to consistently use FGM as an acronym after you initially introduce it

- I really like the way you wrote section 2. It is very clear and concise and engaging. You broke up the paragraphs well, too, so it is digestible.

- "governments such as the US and UK has required" should be "have required"

- "Understanding of river systems involves its" should be "involves understanding their" -- I used to be a copy editor, so these things stand out to me :)

-"views; the" should have an em dash instead of a semicolon since the second part is not a full sentence

- I really like your organization with the case studies.

- "only stable scheme were" should be "schemes"

- I wonder if it might be more effective to move applications after fluvial process, stream classification, and FGM discipline

- I think it would be useful to expand on stream classification and connect the information to the rest of your paper more directly.

- "The data is collected" should be "data are" -- it's plural

Overall, it is clear and concise. Other than what you are already planning to fill in, I can't think of anything that would be useful to add. Have fun completing the paper!

Introduction: Fluvial Geomorphology (FGM) is the study of streams and their interaction with the geologic terrain it is found in. It is a multidisciplinary synthesis of engineering, biology, geology, soil science, hydrology and other science practices. It is a fairly new and developing practice in the area of natural stream channel design stemming from movements to restore rivers. Fluvial Geomorphology is a holistic view of restoring stream channels by empirical studies such as sediment transport, river discharge, channel size, mapping and others.
