Excess <sup>210</sup>Pb inventories and fluxes along the continental slope and basins of the Gulf of Papua
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Sediment samples were collected from continental slopes and marginal basins in the Gulf of Papua and analyzed for excess 210Pb to elucidate transport processes of fine‐ grained particles to this region. Estimated excess 210Pb fluxes of 1.0–12.8 dpm cm−2 a−1 were derived from measured seabed inventories. Highest sediment accumulation rates (0.28–0.35 cm a−1) were measured along the northeastern shelf edge, and they decrease in seaward directions and along isobaths to the southwest. The excess 210Pb flux could result from either focused deposition of high‐210Pb activity sediments from the continental shelf and upper slope or scavenging of 210Pb brought landward from deep‐sea waters. This sediment flux is concentrated in the northeastern Gulf of Papua, where the shelf is narrow and calcium carbonate contents are lowest. Analysis of sedimentary fabric and 210Pb distributions in cores suggests sediment delivery to the slope occurs on a 100‐year timescale as both diffuse hemipelagic deposition as well as turbidity flows. The flux of sediment in turbidity flows is not well constrained but may be producing additional deep‐sea accumulation in the Moresby Trough, as well as export from the study area.

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.
