Abstract
Trees impacted by the forces of natural processes such as flash floods, snow avalanches, landslides, rockfalls or earthquakes, record these events and exhibit growth disturbances in their growth-ring series. As a consequence, these disturbances provide an excellent signal for the spatio-temporal reconstruction of past natural hazard activity and a means to date and document past disasters. In the context of the Indian Himalayas Climate Change Adaptation Programme (IHCAP; http://www.ihcap.in/), a field trip was carried out in May 2014 to define suitable sites for dendrogeomorphic research in Kullu valley, Himachal Pradesh. Several tree species and sites where recent and past process activity can be reconstructed were inventoried, namely flash floods in the Beas and Sainj rivers as well as snow avalanches in Solang valley. Through this exploratory analysis, we ascertain that tree-ring techniques have wide applicability in the analysis of natural hazards, not only in the Kullu region but also in other geographical contexts of the Himalayas.

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
