Correction to: Communications Earth and Environment https://doi.org/10.1038/s43247-023-00690-z, published online 11 February 2023.

The original version of Figure 4 in this article contained an error in the tick marks displayed on the x-axis and errors in the labelling of the y-axis and x-axis in panels (a) and (b). The original version of Figure 4 displayed a single scale marker tick on the x-axis, and the x-axis was labelled “Equivalent Diameter (mm)” and the y-axis was labelled “Velocity (mm/s)”. The corrected version of Figure 4 displays two scale marker ticks on the x-axis, and the x-axis is labelled “log10 (equivalent diameter)” and the y-axis is labelled “log10 (velocity)”. This has been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the Article.
