Abstract
In this reply we respond to the points raised in a recent comment to Jess et al. (2018, 2019) by Green et al. (2019). Their comment suggests that the thermal modelling approach used in our work did not incorporate relevant geological information and that the conclusions are therefore not valid. We find that the modelling approach championed by Green et al. (2019), adding multiple a priori constraints to ensure a best fit result, is problematic and can prevent acceptable thermal history scenarios from being tested and identified. Additionally, we believe the fixed constraints raised by Green et al. (2019) cannot be viewed as certainties and are in fact debateable interpretations of the regional geology and geomorphology.
