| Abstract |
In the accompanying Comment, Zăinescu et al. raise a series of concerns about our study that broadly relate, first, to our definition of what constitutes a delta and, second, to the link between human-impacted fluvial sediment flux and the change in the area of deltas. Here we show that our conclusions remain fully supported by the best-available data. Moreover, in our view, the concerns raised by Zăinescu et al. are unrelated to the primary scientific contribution of our paper: the first fully quantitative prediction of the continuum of delta shapes. |
