Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Wetlands have not gained as much attention as they ought to by geologists despite being so prevalent in the Canadian landscape. Some of this stems from a poor understanding of wetland geology and what wetland landforms are. Wetlands constitute unusual landformsin that they are formed of biological material predominantly shaped by biological processes rather than being formed of minerals and rock shaped more by physical processes. There are two main groups of wetlands: mineral wetlands, commonly situated in high-energy settings; and peatlands, situated in low-energy settings that undergo either terrestrialization or paludification during the course of their development. Wetlands, as both a landscape unit and economic resource, have historically been and will continue to be important in Canada. New and more specialized skills and engineering designs will be required to build infrastructurein wetland terrain. Wetlands should be regarded as an economic resource that requires wise use and management. Nature-sensitive technologies need to be invented for use with wetlands to conserve and enhance the resource to serve the needs and protect the health of human society. RESUME Bien qu'elles constituent un trait dominant du paysage canadien, les geologues n'ont pas prete suffisamment d'attention aux terres humides. Cela tient en partie a une mauvaise connaissance de la geologie des terres humides et de ce que sont ces elements geomorphologiques. Comme elements geomorphologiques, les terres humides ont ceci de particulier qu'elles sont principalement constituees de materiaux biologiques issus de processus biologiques, et non de mineraux et de roches formees par des processus physiques. Il existe deux grands groupes de terres humides, soit les terres humides minerales, generalement situees en milieux de hautes energies, et les tourbieres, situees en milieux de basses energies, et dont le developpement comporte une etape de terrestrialisation ou de tourbification. Tant comme element topographique que ressource economique, les terres humides ont ete et demeurent importantes au Canada. Des savoirfaire techniques nouveaux et plus specialises seront necessaires pour concevoir et edifier des infrastructures en milieux humides. On devrait voir les terres humides comme une ressource economique devant etre gerer avec sagesse. Il est necessaire que des technologies douces soient inventees pour conserver la ressource et en tirer un meilleur parti tout en protegeant la sante humaine.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
