Early Postglacial Sedimentation of Lower Seymour Valley, Southwestern British Columbia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In lower Seymour Valley, much of the sediment derived from the erosion of valley-side drift (paraglacial sediments) remains in storage in the form of alluvial fans and aprons. Fluvial incision into these features has exposed sections for lithostratigraphic and chronological study. Radiocarbon dating of organic-rich beds within these deposits indicate that paraglacial sedimentation of lower Seymour Valley commenced before 11.4 ka, was periodic, and was essentially complete by about 9 ka; Seymour River had incised to its present vertical position by about 5 ka. Furthermore, our radiocarbon ages indicate that, although paraglacial sedimentation commenced shortly following deglaciation when the climate was cool and moist, a significant amount of sedimentation occurred during a transition from wet and moist climate to warm and dry (xerothermic) conditions (ca. 10 ka). Charcoal-rich beds indicate that some erosional events may have been a result of slope instability caused by fire.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
