Abstract
Abstract A finite‐element, one‐dimensional, heat conduction model, which takes thaw settlement into account following drainage of excess water produced by the melt of ice lenses at the permafrost boundaries, is used to assess the thermal response of a permafrost mound in Northern Québec to different scenarios of climate warming. In addition to the cryostratigraphy of the mound, the unfrozen water content, thermal conductivity and volumetric heat capacity of the marine sediments comprising the mound were integrated in the simulation. Warming rates from 0.03 to 0.01°C/year are predicted in the mound for a gradual linear increase in mean annual air temperature of 0.05°C/year over a 100 year period. Downward thawing occurs at the permafrost table at rates of 1–13 cm/year but there is also upward thawing from the permafrost base at rates of 2.4–5.8 cm/year. The thermal response of permafrost is not linear with time. At the end of the 100 year period, thaw settlement predicted was 1.4 m and the active layer was 3.22 m thick over a talik of 1.46 m thick. This is in comparison to an active layer of 2.14 m thick over a talik of 1.86 m if thaw settlement is not considered in the simulation. Thaw settlement, the direct result of ice melting in permafrost, brings permafrost nearer to the surface and accelerates its thawing. It should be included in any numerical simulation.

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
