Source-to-sink constraints on tectonic and sedimentary evolution of the western Central Range and Cenderawasih Bay (Indonesia)

•Sediment flux rates and sediment volumes imply sediments started to accumulate 12 million years ago in the Waipoga Basin.•The main source of sediments is the Ruffaer Metamorphic Belt.•55–82% of the eroded volume has been removed during the last 3 million years.•Flux rates and seismic information suggest that Plio-Pleistocene sediments are ~6–10 km thick.•These high rates of sedimentation suggest transtensional tectonics.
