Brainstorming about the Future of Solid Earth Sciences in Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This article is a synopsis of an informal meeting that was convened in Montreal last May to discuss strategic planning for the Sciences in Canada. Five possible approaches for developing a new research program are discussed and the lessons from LITHOPROBE are reviewed. This is followed by a brief overview of existing and emerging Solid Science projects that are focussed on the Continental, Far North, Marine, and Planetary realms. There is also a section on future directions of federal and provincial geological surveys. Finally, at least two workshops are proposed to define and flesh out research themes, and identify funding pathways. One should deal with research in continental geology, perhaps using the Taking the Pulse of Planet Earth proposal as a starting point. A second should explore research opportunities for solid earth scientists in planetary science and attempt to develop funding links with the Canadian Space Agency. SOMMAIRE Le present article est un compte rendu sommaire des debats d'une reunion informelle tenue a Montreal et portant sur la planification strategique dans le domaine des « sciences de la Terre solides » au Canada. On y decrit cinq approches distinctes visant a mettre sur pied un nouveau programme de recherche, et on passe en revue les lecons tirees du programme Lithoprobe. Puis, on revient brievement sur les projets emergeants en sciences de la Terre solides et qui portent sur les secteurs de recherche sur le continent, le grandnord, la mer et les planetes. Il y a aussi un segment discutant des orientations des services de leves geologiques federal et provinciaux. Finalement, on propose la creation d'au moins deux ateliers de remue-meninges afin de definir en details des themes de recherche et de cibler des processus de financement. Un premier atelier devra porter sur la recherche en geologie du continent, en prenant s'il y a lieu, comme point de depart, le projet « Prendre le pouls de la planete Terre ». Un deuxieme atelier portera sur les possibilites de recherche interessant les chercheurs des sciencesde la Terre solide dans le domaine des sciences des planetes, et essaiera de definir des pistes de financement avec l'Agence spatiale canadienne.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
