摘要
The writer systematically refutes all of the discussers' criticisms and supplies more details on the rigour of his "slope-based" frequency analysis. He also identifies key flaws of alternative and conflicting statistical interpretations proposed by the two discussion teams; and provides detailed documentation of the large uncertainty associated with paleolimnological assessments of ice-jam flood frequency.
