Abstract
During decay of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet, ˜13 000–10000 cal. yr BP, numerous ice-dammed, ribbon-shaped lakes developed within the moderately deep valleys of the Interior Plateau of British Columbia. We describe the pattern and characteristics of lake sediments within the Thompson Valley, propose a palaeoenvironmental model for glacial lakes Thompson and Deadman and explore their implications for the palaeogeography of Cordilleran Ice Sheet decay. Seventeen glaciolacustrine lithofacies are identified within deltas, subaqueous fans and lake-bottom beds. Sediments accumulated at high rates and by a diversity of sediment dispersal and depositional processes: hyperpycnal and surge-type turbidity currents, grain flows and debris flows. Megascale subaqueous failures (tens of metres thick) were facilitated by high sedimentation rates. The palaeoenvironmental model highlights: (i) high rates of basin infilling; (ii) the dominant role of tributary rivers, rather than valley-occupying ice, in delivering water and sediment to lakes; and (iii) the role of melt cycles, jökulhlaups and hyperpycnal flows in sediment delivery. These conditions, in combination with a lack of organics and a fining upward sequence in lake sediments, suggest that glacial lakes Thompson and Deadman were coeval with dwindling plateau ice.

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 it
