Geometry and grain-size characteristics of the basal surface of a braided river deposit
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Description of the three-dimensional geometry and grain-size patterns of fluvial deposits and their relationship to the morphodynamics of the river has been an elusive objective in sedimentology, hindered by limited exposure and the time scale of fluvial dynamics. In small-scale physical models the time scales are short enough to map river morphology and sedimentology during significant (and continuous) morphological development of the river and its deposits, especially for braided rivers. Using close-range digital photogrammetry, the dynamics of the river morphology, and resulting deposit geometry and sedimentology, were captured using digital elevation model differencing techniques, combined with automated grain-size mapping from image texture analysis. Using these novel methods we show the temporal development and characteristics of braided river deposit geometry, and, for the first time, map the characteristics and development of the basal surface of braided river deposits in relation to river morphodynamics and formative processes. The basal surface has considerable relief, wide variation in grain size similar to that of the river as a whole, develops progressively over time by switching of channels producing adjacent patches and ribbons of basal incision of different ages, and is only partially related to bed scour associated with laterally migrating channel confluences.

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.
