A diatom-based Holocene palaeoenvironmental record from a mid-arctic lake on Boothia Peninsula, Nunavut, Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A 485 cm sediment core from a lake unoffcially called JR01, Boothia Peninsula, Nunavut, Canada, yielded a high-resolution diatom record documenting environmental change in the mid-arctic. Five radiocarbon dates provided the chronology. Changes in diatom composition and sediment character istics indicated distinct shifts in the Holocene climate. A more diverse and productive diatom flora implies warmer temperatures in the middle Holocene. A subsequent complete shift in diatom composition to a predominantly Fragilaria sensu lato flora and a reduction in diversity and production suggests cooler climates in this region after 4600cal. BP. Smaller-scale climatic fluctuations, such as the‘Little Ice Age’ (LIA, 600–150 cal. BP) and the‘Mediaeval Warm Period’ (MWP, 1150–600 cal. BP), caused shifts in the diatom flora and production. Subtle shifts in floristic diversity within the LIA may reflect climatic variability at a century scale. A gradual shift to a more diverse and productive flora in the last 150 years suggests a response to the recent warming trend.

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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
