We thank William Helland-Hansen for his compliments and feedback on our paper. We aimed to establish a consensus in sequence stratigraphy by using a neutral approach that focused on model-independent, fundamental concepts, because these are the ones common to various approaches. This search for common ground is what we meant by “standardization,” not the imposition of a strict, inflexible set of rules for the placement of sequence-stratigraphic surfaces. Our work is meant to eliminate the present state of methodological and nomenclatural confusion within sequence stratigraphy, which is largely the result of uncoordinated effort in the development of the method and the proliferation of terminology that is unnecessarily complex.[...]
