Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Humans are losing touch with the Earth. They tend to ignore the strong linkages between earth resources and the level of civilization they enjoy. They also tend to ignore the forces of earth processes, rendering themselves insensitive to natural processes and hazards. The disconnection is strongest in the developed, first world of which Canada is a part. Earth scientists hold the key knowledge to repair this disconnection between the Earth and its people. It is critical that we place more of a social context on earth science, especially as it is communicated to the public. We need to re-establish the connections between our well-being and the earth resources that make it possible. We also need to educate society about how Earth processes affect our everyday life. By the same token, we also need to elaborate more of the social context of earth sciences to students of earth sciences. Resume Les humains perdent de plus en plus contact avec la Terre. Ils ont tendance a oublier les liens importants qui existent entre les ressources de la Terre et le niveau de vie dont ils jouissent. Ils ont aussi tendance a ignorer les grandes forces des mecanismes terrestres en jeu, ce qui les rend inconscients des processus et des dangers ambiants. Cene inconscience est d'autant plus prononcee que le pays est developpe et, le Canada est l'un des premiers pays de la liste. Les geoscientifiques detiennent le savoir cle permettant de retablir la conscience des liens existant entre la Terre et ses habitants. Il est crucial que nous fassions l'effort de mieux situer les sciences de la Terre dans leur contexte social, particulierement a l'occasion de communications a l'intention du grand public. Il est imperieux que nous reussissions a re-demontrer l'existence des liens entre notre bien-etre, et les ressources terrestres dont il est issu. Il est egalement necessaire que nous instruisions la societe sur le mode de fonctionnement des processus terrestres qui affectent quotidiennement nos vies. Par la meme occasion, nous devons insister davantage aupres des etudiants sur les applications sociales des connaissances geoscientifiques.

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.
