The fluvial morphodynamics of two small permafrost drainage basins, Richardson Mountains, Northwestern Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Based on hydrological fieldwork in the tundra of northwestern Canada during the springs of 1986, 1990, 1992, and 1994 and the summers of 1998, 1999, and 2000 the paper deals with the fluvial processes induced by spring snowmelt and by summer rainfall in two small stream valleys. At the end of winter the floors of these flat‐bottomed valleys are covered by icings (aufeis) over most of their length. The biggest quantity of meltwater runoff passes in an ice channel on top of the icing, with flow velocities up to 4.8 m/s. The main solid‐sediment transport takes place through the short runoff interval, when the stream channel has entrenched the aufeis in some places. The calculated suspended load transport during snowmelt flood varied from 62–313 t/km 2 in different years. In summer, suspended‐sediment transport varies between 0.2–1.4 t/km 2 . There are no data about the frequency of exceptionally strong precipitation events, similar to those that occurred during the 1999 summer in the Douglas Creek basin that led to a suspended load transport of 153 t/km 2 and a bedload transport of 444 t/km 2 in about 12 days. The average annual suspended‐sediment yield for Andy Creek is 71 t/km 2 /yr, and 328 t/km 2 /yr for Douglas Creek. The average annual solutes yield for Andy Creek is 19 t/km 2 /yr, and 52 t/km 2 /yr for Douglas Creek. If one includes the hardly‐recordable bedload transport, the total equivalent surface lowering rate by fluvial solids transport is about 350 mm/1000yr for the Andy Creek basin and 850 mm/1000yr for the Douglas Creek basin.

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.
