Correction to: Nature Geoscience https://doi.org/10.1038/s41561-019-0443-2, published online 9 September 2019.

In the version of this Article originally published the following sentence was mistakenly omitted from the Acknowledgements: ‘Finally, we are grateful to C. Morley, R. Hall and J. Geissman for their constructive comments, which helped to clarify our data presentation and model.’ This has now been corrected.
