Abstract
Marine gas-hydrate deposits can cause certain bulk physical properties of marine sediments to be anomalous; geophysical imaging methods sensitive to these properties are thus useful diagnostic tools. Elastic parameters, in particular, are affected by the displacement of pore fluids by an icelike solid. Seismic methods are sensitive to elastic parameters; however, estimation of gas-hydrate content in marine sediments using seismic methods alone is difficult. Seafloor compliance, the transfer function between pressure induced by surface gravity waves and the associated deformation, is most sensitive to the mean shear modulus of volumes of underlying subseafloor material; hence it can be used to infer gas-hydrate content. The variation of compliance with frequency or source wavelength provides information on elastic structure as a function of depth. Thus depth profiles of elastic moduli and density, or conversely, the more familiar seismic velocities can be calculated from these data. The method is sensitive to smeared out volumes of underlying material, so it is more useful for estimating bulk properties of the subsection. It has the advantage of a naturally occurring source, relative logistical simplicity, low cost, and unlike seismic data, is largely insensitive to, and hence unhampered by, the presence of free gas. Further, results from full 3D finite difference modeling indicate that these data are sensitive to mean properties of gas-hydrate-bearing marine sediment, regardless of the heterogeneous nature of gas-hydrate distribution. The method has been used to address outstanding questions about the nature of seismic blank zones, such as the cold vent field offshore Vancouver Island, near Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 889 and the recent Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition 311. Data have been gathered at many sites with a high-sensitivity recording gravimeter and a differential pressure gauge lowered to the seafloor, which record compliance time series. Here, we present a review of the underlying theory along with data sets, which show that compliance is apt for hydrate assessment, complementary to seismic and electrical methods.

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
