Hydrogeological modeling of submarine groundwater discharge on the continental shelf of Louisiana
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A regional scale hydrogeologic model has been developed to estimate the magnitude of submarine groundwater discharge to the coastal waters of southeastern Louisiana. The model domain incorporates both the onshore recharge area of terrestrially derived freshwater, and fluid circulation within the sediments on the continental shelf. The hydrogeologic properties of these sediments, which form part of the Coastal Lowlands Aquifer System, have been well‐characterized in earlier studies. The low topographic relief of the coastal plain and an extensive zone of seawater intrusion are key features of the groundwater flow system. Model calculations suggest that no water containing a substantial component of terrestrial origin discharges on the continental shelf. Rather the near‐shore coastal zone serves as a groundwater recharge area of saline water that then forms the seawater recirculation system beneath the coastal plain. The modeling results are consistent with interpretations of the rates of submarine groundwater discharge derived from geochemical tracers, presented in a companion paper by McCoy et al. (2007).

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.
