Abstract
A sediment budget approach is used to investigate the sources, storage, and yield of clastic sediment in Lillooet River watershed, in the southern Coast Mountains. The 3150 km 2 basin is heavily glacierised, and includes a Quaternary volcanic complex which has been active in the Holocene. The sediment yield has been determined from the rate of advance of the delta at the basin outlet. The floodplain of the main river valley is aggrading as the delta advances, and probably has been through most of the Holocene. Major sediment sources in the basin include glaciers and Neoglacial deposits, debris flows, and landslides in the Quaternary volcanic complex. Soil and bedrock creep, bank erosion of Pleistocene glacial deposits, and sediment from logging and agriculture are probably of minor importance. Estimates of sediment production from these sources explain only about half the observed clastic sediment yield plus the rate of valley aggradation. The unexplained sediment production may be associated with paraglacial sediments exposed by glacial retreat from the nineteenth century Neoglacial maximum; alternatively the frequency of occurrence of intermediate scale debris flows and landslides has been seriously underestimated. Sediment supply is highly episodic over time scales of centuries to thousands of years. Major factors in the temporal pattern of Holocene sediment supply are periods of volcanism, large landslides, the retreat of glaciers from the Neoglacial maximum, and recent river engineering works.

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 it
