Soilatmosphere modelling of an engineered soil cover for acid generating mine waste in a humid, alpine climate
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A research program studying the performance of soil covers at the Equity Silver Mine was initiated in 1992. This site is situated in the humid, alpine climate of north central British Columbia. A one-dimensional, fully coupled heat and water transport, soilatmosphere flux model was developed as part of this research program to simulate the movement of liquid water and water vapour within a soil cover in response to rainfall and evapotranspiration. Predicted and measured conditions in the cover showed good agreement for a five-month period from June to November 1993. The modelling exercise showed that vapour flow was the dominant flow mechanism near the surface of the cover within a few days after the start of drying. This points out the necessity of being able to couple heat and water transport in soil cover analyses and design. The numerical modelling demonstrated that input parameters are readily attainable through field and laboratory measurement. Model predictions of extreme and mean climate conditions indicated that percolation through the cover system would be limited to approximately 2% of the annual precipitation and that oxygen flux through the cover would be reduced by approximately 98% from uncovered conditions.Key words: acid rock drainage, soil covers, unsaturated soils, infiltration, evapotranspiration, matric suction.

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.
