Response to comment on "absence of cooling in New Zealand and the adjacent ocean during the Younger Dryas chronozone"

Applegate et al. present the results of a moraine degradation model and suggest that the age of the Waiho Loop may be 1000 years older than the age we presented, thus raising the possibility that the moraine is a Younger Dryas landform. We show that this assessment is misleading on a number of grounds.
