Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A time-dependent ice flow model is used to provide detailed reconstructions of ice growth and retreat for the southern portion of the Late Wisconsinan Cordilleran Ice Sheet. The two-dimensional, time-dependent model provides ice surface elevations and flow directions at a grid spacing of 15 km. Input to the model includes subglacial topography, a net mass balance function, and two ice flow parameters. The net mass balance function uses a polynomial equation to estimate equilibrium line altitude (ELA) across the study area. A quadratic equation is then used to provide net mass balance values as a function of elevation relative to the ELA. Late Wisconsinan glacial conditions are simulated by systematically lowering the ELA. The general timing of the model ice advance and retreat is tested against radiocarbon dated localities which place limits on the ice sheet's areal extent for different times during the Late Wisconsinan glaciation. In addition, glacial-geologic evidence directly attributable to the latest Cordilleran Ice Sheet is used in assessing the model reconstructions. Results from these experiments show that an ice growth and retreat chronology consistent with the limiting radiocarbon dates can be generated using the model, and provide information on flow directions and ice growth and retreat patterns.

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.
