Abstract
The ability to determine the fate and transport of newly deposited mercury, from that of historically deposited mercury, was recently demonstrated by the Mercury Experiment To Assess Atmospheric Loading In Canada and the United States (METAALICUS). The METAALICUS project is a whole-watershed amendment study where different stable isotopes of mercury were applied to three watershed compartments totaling ∼53 Hectares: the upland, the wetland, and the surface of a dimictic lake in northwestern Ontario, Canada. Each compartment received approximately 5 times the annual background atmospheric deposition for the region. In the lake, the spike was divided into 9 bi-weekly injections administered over several hours through the wash of a trolling motor while circling the lake. The spike was added at dusk to limit photoreduction and evasion of elemental mercury. Results from two years of data show that new mercury is extremely particle reactive. Implications for the availability of newly deposited mercury for methylation, and a well-constrained mass balance of the hypolimnetic mercury cycle, will be presented.

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 it
