Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Various lake phases have developed in the upper Great Lakes in response to isostatic
\nadjustment and changes in water supply since the retreat of the Laurentide Ice Sheet. Georgian
\nBay experienced a lowstand that caused a basin wide unconformity approximately 7,500 years
\nago that cannot be explained by geological events. Thecamoebians are shelled protozoans
\nabundant in freshwater environments and they are generally more sensitive to changing
\nenvironmental conditions than the surrounding vegetation. Thecamoebians can be used to
\nreconstruct the paleolimnology. The abundance of thecamoebians belonging to the genus
\nCentropyxis, which are known to tolerate slightly brackish conditions (i.e. high concentrations of
\nions) records highly evaporative conditions in a closed basin. During the warmer interval (9000
\nto 700 yBP), the Centropyxis - dominated population diminishes and is replaced by an abundant
\nand diverse Difflugia dominate population.
\nHistorical climate records from Tobermory and Midland, Ontario were correlated with
\nthe Lake Huron water level curve. The fossil pollen record and comparison with modem
\nanalogues allowed a paleo-water budget to be calculated for Georgian Bay. Transfer function
\nanalysis of fossil pollen data from Georgian Bay records cold, dry winters similar to modem day
\nMinneapolis, Minnesota. Drier climates around this time are also recorded in bog environments
\nin Southem Ontario - the drying of Lake Tonawanda and inception of paludification in
\nWilloughby Bog, for instance, dates around 7,000 years ago. The dramatic impact of climate
\nchange on the water level in Georgian Bay underlines the importance of paleoclimatic research
\nfor predicting future environmental change in the Great Lakes.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
