Deep Seismic Investigation of the Ontong Java Plateau
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Ontong Java Plateau (OJP; see Figure 1a), in the western equatorial Pacific Ocean, is one of the largest oceanic plateaus on Earth, covering 1.86 million square kilometers—equivalent to roughly one third of the contiguous United States [ Coffin and Eldholm , 1994]. This voluminous plateau is thought to have formed about 120 million years ago and to have caused significant global environmental changes; however, a consensus has not been reached on how the OJP formed. Competing theories include formation through a mantle plume, a meteor impact, and fast spreading ridges. Detailed knowledge of the OJP's crustal and upper mantle structure is necessary to help distinguish among existing models and to develop new models of how the OJP formed. Previous seismic studies acquired data by exploding charges at the ocean's surface and, through seismic analyses of travel times, deducing horizons of reflections and refractions below the ocean floor. However, most of these studies used relatively low energy shots and sparse source and receiver intervals and thus were unable to unambiguously determine the depth of the crust‐mantle boundary.

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.
