Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In cooperation with mining companies, temperature data are being acquired at several sites in the Cape Smith — Wakeham Bay Belt of Northern Québec. Cables, containing up to twenty thermistors, are lowered into exploratory diamond-drill holes upon completion, and allowed to freeze in place. Three temperature profiles at Asbestos Hill yield low geothermal gradients; thermal conductivities of core are moderate to low and hence low values of the terrestrial heat flow are observed. Extrapolating temperature profiles to greater depths gives a permafrost thickness of at least 540 m. The uncorrected terrestrial heat fluxes calculated for the shallow holes are about 2/3 that of the lower section of the deeper hole. Such contrast in heat flow is used to develop a simple model of surface temperature history for the area for the past 85 000 years. Using this geothermal data, engineering estimates may be made of such parameters as maximum active layer thickness and thaw penetration of both open pit walls and underground drifts.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
