Finding Riemannian metrics with holonomy G_2 is a challenging problem with links in mathematics to Einstein metrics and area-minimizing submanifolds, and to M-theory in theoretical physics. I will provide a brief survey on recent progress towards studying this problem using a geometric flow approach, including connections to calibrated fibrations.
