Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Climate change is tightening its grip on high mountains. Yet, unlike their island counterparts, the ordeals facing mountain communities are under-studied and under-appreciated. But that's about to change. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) is looking to enable better understanding of the physical processes in mountainous regions, especially their glaciers and ice fields at high elevations, by bringing together meteorological and research communities around the world. This will help identify the key stressors in the mountain environment and facilitate disaster reduction, as well as support decision making and sustainable development. In a forum chaired by David Grimes, WMO’s President, and Tandong Yao, former Director of the Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and co-chair of the Third Pole Environment, a panel of international scientists with diverse backgrounds discussed which priority areas WMO should focus on, how the organization can improve data sharing, how to address climate risks and water scarcity, and how the work can benefit the societal needs of mountain communities.

Not 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.
