Bar plot showing, for each region, the regression coefficient observed over 1910–2017 between river discharge and sea level (blue), the corresponding value reported by Meade and Emery (25) (red), and the theoretical value computed based on Eq. 6 (yellow). Whiskers on blue bars indicate the 95% confidence interval estimated on the data values using Monte Carlo simulation and Fourier phase scrambling as described in SI Appendix.
