New insights into glaciation and sea-level fluctuation on northern Grand Bank, offshore Newfoundland
Bibliographic record
Abstract
High-resolution geophysical surveys of northern Grand Bank document sea-level fluctuations and an extensive glaciation. Multiple erosion-bounded progradational and aggradational sediment packages include two clinoform bodies deposited during the late Cenozoic as bank spillover rather than from glacial meltwater. A change from aggradation to shelf-break progradation with oversteepening and sediment failure apparently reflects increased sediment flux in the Pliocene-Pleistocene. A pervasive near-surface glaciogenic blanket interpreted as mainly till and related recessional moraines are evident to 400 m water depth. This represents the only clear evidence for glaciation extending to the shelf break. Abrupt truncation of the moraines in the southwest may indicate a pre-Late Wisconsinan transgression that eroded the till above about 160 m water depth leaving only remnants shallower than this. A Late Wisconsinan glaciation is not ruled out. Localized occurrences of hardground, likely relating to subaerial exposure, may be widespread above 160 m water depth.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
