Abstract

It has come to our attention that in the work referenced above we unintentionally referred to the body of water sep­arating the Iranian Plateau from the Arabian Peninsula as the ‘Arabian Gulf ‘(Abstract, line 9). The words ‘Arabian Gulf’ should be replaced with the words ‘Persian Gulf’, which is the name for this water mass recognised by the International Hydrographic Organization (1953) and endorsed by the UN Group of Experts on Geographical Names (2006).
