Creation of an atlas of lake-sediment geochemistry of Western Labrador and Northeastern Québec
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A geochemical database of 21 678 lake-sediment samples, analysed for 53 elements by ICP-MS after aqua-regia digestion, has been created. Statistical tests and plots of the combined data (in some cases, after the application of levelling functions) show that the disharmony that existed previously – between analyses that employed digestions of differing strengths – can be largely alleviated. This allows the creation of integrated geochemical maps of an area of almost 300 000 km 2 . Many of the large-scale geochemical features revealed by the data are related to the rocks of the Paleoproterozoic ‘Labrador Trough’, within the region termed the New Quebec Orogen. However, those that are defined by an association of Rb, K, Ti, Li, Cs, Mg, Ga, Sn and Th, correlated negatively with LOI, Hg, Se, S, Ag, Cd, Ca and Sr may be related to the relative amounts of organic and inorganic clastic material in the lake sediment, rather than bedrock geology. It is hoped that the merged data will provide assistance to the geological mapping of this large area, as well as providing a stimulus for mineral exploration.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.
How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
