Predicting Sediment Thickness on Vanished Ocean Crust Since 200 Ma

Tracing sedimentation through time on existing and vanished seafloor is imperative for constraining long‐term eustasy and for calculating volumes of subducted deep‐sea sediments that contribute to global geochemical cycles. We present regression algorithms that incorporate the age of the ocean crust and the mean distance to the nearest passive margin to predict sediment thicknesses and long‐term decompacted sedimentation rates since 200 Ma.
