While our conclusion was speculative, it was consistent with our empirical data, and the alternative explanations they presented are no more viable than those we explored in our original publication (Carlin et al, 2019)
We contend it is not certain that littoral-sized material is remobilized from these features, and for the sake of brevity will focus on rippled-scour depressions (RSD) as Rosenberger et al (2019) found that remobilization from RSDs in
Summary
Specialty section: This article was submitted to Quaternary Science, Geomorphology and Paleoenvironment, a section of the journal Frontiers in Earth Science. Commentary: Variability in Shelf Sedimentation in Response to Fluvial Sediment Supply and Coastal Erosion Over the Past 1,000 Years in Monterey Bay, CA, United States by Warrick, J. Warrick et al (2019) contend that our conclusion that changes in the littoral sand fraction (LSF; %sand fraction >180 μm) reflect coastal erosion was “speculative at best, and very likely incorrect” and offered alternative sources and mechanisms to explain the data.
