Nature, Origin, and Age Relationships of Landscape Complexes in Southwestern Saskatchewan
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Six landscape complexes are recognized in the Cypress Lake (72 F) and Wood Mountain (72 G) areas of southwestern Saskatchewan. The complexes are recognized by their geomorphology, geology, and processes of landscape formation. The relationships of these components are used to determine the relative ages of the complexes. The oldest complex designated “unglaciated bedrock terrain”, consists of mature landscapes developed in Late Cretaceous and Tertiary sediments. It was formed by fluvial and mass wasting processes under Late Tertiary arid to semi-arid climates. A rather similar complex, but with scattered drift residuals - chiefly glacial erratics, is called “bedrock terrain with residual drift”. This complex reflects similar Late Tertiary processes of landscape formation but was later affected by Pleistocene glaciation. A complex called “bedrock terrain and drift” resembles the older complexes except for a veneer of drift and local meltwater channels. Here, effects of the Late Wisconsinan glaciation are restricted to meltwater erosion, and the drift appears to predate this glaciation. The other three landscape complexes are: “first advance drift”, “interlobate drift” and “last advance drift”. These include terrain typical of the parts of the southern prairies covered by the Late Wisconsinan glacier.

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.
