Fig. 1: Global distribution of muddy coastlines derived from the hybrid classification model, with colours denoting the local percentage of mud (darker brown implying more mud).
The subplot on the right averages the relative occurrence of muddy coastlines per latitudinal degree, with the dashed line representing the distribution of muddy coastlines reported by Hayes18. The lower subplot shows the relative occurrence of muddy coastlines per longitudinal degree. The curved grey dashed lines in the main plot indicate the boundaries of the ice-free coastlines considered in this analysis. The curved blue dashed lines represent the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, the red dashed line indicates the equator.
