Persistence of a scour hole on the East Channel of the Mackenzie Delta, N.W.T.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Anomalies in the bathymetry of river channels are of great practical concern for designing sub-bed pipeline crossings. Of particular interest is the long-term stability of deep holes. Bathymetric evidence indicates that one unusually deep hole in the East Channel of the Mackenzie River, referred to as a scour hole, has existed as early as 1956. Detailed hydraulic and morphologic data were first collected in 1985, and again in 1992 to assess the spatial and temporal stability of the feature. Even with a record flood on the Mackenzie River in 1988, the hole, with a maximum depth approaching 30 m, was vertically stable over the 7-year period. However, lateral erosion and sedimentation have resulted in a shift in the horizontal position of the scour hole, with a maximum horizontal erosion of approximately 2 m/a. The average rate of lateral outward movement was observed to be 0.8 m/a.Key words: Mackenzie Delta, rivers, fluvial sediment, channel stability, scour, scour hole.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
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 teacher head, not a consensus.
