Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

.Two versions of a fluvial sediment trap designed to collect integrated samples of ambient suspended sediment load were deployed in a small river at Cape Bounty, Melville Island, Nunavut in the Canadian High Arctic. Daily and bi‐daily sediment capture in the traps was broadly proportionate with suspended loads estimated directly from daily sediment flux measurements but showed highly variable trap capture rates. Grain size analysis showed that the median grain size (D50) of the captured material was significantly coarser than the ambient material, although the D50 of the two trap versions deployed was not significantly different. These results suggest that the traps did not consistently collect a representative mass or particle size sample in a river environment with highly variable conditions. This is explained by consideration of the hydraulic design of the traps and a highly dynamic stream environment. Hence, deployment of fluvial traps in small ephemeral Arctic rivers will require further testing and refinement of the hydraulic design.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not 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.
