Late Wisconsinan Cordilleran and Laurentide glaciation of the Peace River Valley east of the Rocky Mountains, British Columbia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In the past, researchers have disagreed over the maximum extent of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet in the Peace River valley during the Late Wisconsinan. Some workers argued that Cordilleran ice reached beyond the Rocky Mountains and briefly coalesced with the Laurentide Ice Sheet on the westernmost Interior Plains. In contrast, others asserted that Cordilleran ice did not reach beyond the eastern front of the Rocky Mountains. Stratigraphic interpretation of three sections within a Middle Wisconsinan paleovalley and re-examination of a previously published regional stratigraphic framework show that western-sourced ice (likely the Cordilleran Ice Sheet) extended east of the mountain front during the Late Wisconsinan, prior to the incursion of the Laurentide Ice Sheet into the area. This conclusion has implications for Cordilleran Ice Sheet reconstruction and modelling, and provides insight into the interactions between the Cordilleran and Laurentide ice sheets during the last glaciation.

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.
