An assessment of topographic effects on airborne and ground magnetic data
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Recent advances in magnetic surveying have focused on achieving higher levels of instrument sensitivity and better definition of the morphology of the magnetic field through the use of measured magnetic field gradients. Images derived from these high-resolution magnetic surveys are widely used as a direct proxy for geologic mapping, especially in areas of limited surface exposure. Commonly, this involves the application of skeletonization (e.g., multiscale edges, or “worms”), Euler, and/or wavelet-based processing routines to generate estimates of the location, and morphology of the edges of anomalous source bodies. The primary assumption for all of these image- (map-) based data processing routines is that the observed magnetic data set provides an unbiased representation of the magnetic mineral variation in the surface and subsurface geology. This assumption may be valid when the observed magnetic anomalies are greater than 5000 nT and the topography is relatively flat, but it is certainly not valid when the observed anomalies are less than 100 nT and topographic variations exceed 100 m. Indeed, in some situations, topographic variations of less than 20 m can lead to geologically erroneous conclusions derived from ground magnetic surveys.

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.
