Unfortunately, it is apparent that the authors have not responded in a very comprehensive manner, especially since the original decisions were reject and major revisions. I know this manuscript has been in review for a number of months, but the authors really need to more fundamentally address the main points of the reviewers, before I can consider publication. In particular the reviewers are calling for additional clarifying content in the text and not just references to previous work. Thankyou.

We have decided to accept this paper after your revisions based on one author agreeing that you had made sufficient modifications to the initial submission. The second author still had major concerns based on based on the novelty of the particular Bayesian approach used. We chose to publish based on the specific application of this approach to the landscape and basin geophysical model. We encourage and look forward to future submissions with more contemporary approaches in similar geophysical models.
