Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The temperature in the ground changes according to daily or longer temperature cycles in the air. The amount of ground temperature change also diminishes rapidly with depth. Temperatures to a depth of 20 m, the approximate depth to which the yearly temperature cycle penetrates, are presented for various environments in the Mackenzie valley. As a rough guideline, average ground temperatures are about 4°C warmer than mean annual air temperatures. This difference depends mainly on the insulating affect of vegetation and snow and changes in the moisture content of the active layer. Smaller differences may result in peatlands where summer drying of organic soils enhances their insulating capacity. Even without a change in climate, disturbance at the ground surface will alter the ground thermal regime. Examples from the Norman Wells to Zama, Alberta oil pipeline show warming and ground subsidence associated with the clearing of the pipeline right-of-way.

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.

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.
