Fig. 2 Slow Variation (T>>Teq) Isochrons (equal lines of time) are every 1,000,000 years Sediment Flux Gravel Fraction Subsidence Diffusivity What are the differences among A-D?
Fig. 4 Rapid Variation (T<<Teq) Isochrons are every 10,000 years Sediment Flux Gravel Fraction Diffusivity Subsidence How are A-D different than the slow case?
Fig 5. Equilibrium Variation (T=Teq) Sediment Flux Gravel Fraction Diffusivity Subsidence (isochrons are every 100,000 years)
How important is the equilibrium timescale to interpretation?
