Using previously published examples from lacustrine and marine settings, this study assesses how each model performs under variable sedimentation rates, data resolution, and stratigraphic complexity. The results highlight that Bacon is best suited for gradually varying depositional environments with sufficient age control, while Clam is more flexible in handling abrupt sedimentation changes and sparse chronological data. This synthesis emphasizes that model selection should be guided by the stratigraphic context and study objectives to ensure reliable paleoenvironmental or paleoseismological reconstructions.}, number={3}, publisher={Istanbul University}
