Site Assessment and Risk Management Framework for Underwater Munitions
Bibliographic record
Abstract
AbstractThere are thousands of underwater sites off the North American coasts, and many more worldwide, that contain munitions and chemical warfare agents on the seabed. These sites have resulted from historical sources such as military firing ranges, shipwrecks, and offshore munition disposal. An approach is recommended to manage underwater munition sites, which involves a management framework, site characterization, risk assessment, survey/verification, remedial options analysis, monitoring, and stakeholder consultation. This paper presents a review of historical literature addressing potential health, safety, and environmental issues associated with underwater munition sites. A framework has also been described for risk-based management of underwater munition sites that was developed for a Canadian Department of National Defense underwater Unexploded Ordnance Legacy Site program. The approach is composed of historical and archival research, desktop mapping, identification of data limitations and gap analysis, and development of a preliminary priority risk-based ranking of underwater munition sites in Atlantic Canada.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
