The Tides of the Glacial Ocean and Their Possible Connection to Heinrich Event Instabilities of the Laurentide Ice Sheet
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract The possibility that Heinrich event 1 (H1), which occurred during the most recent deglaciation event of the current ice age, may have been both triggered and subsequently continuously forced by the tides, is investigated. For the purpose of this investigation, a discontinuous Galerkin method is employed to solve the shallow water tidal equations on the sphere using a nonuniform icosahedral grid to enable high resolution of the Hudson Strait region that was the locus of the ice stream instability that caused H1. Since Heinrich events are known to have involved, for most if not all such events, an instability of the Hudson Strait Ice Stream, an initial representation of H1 has been investigated in which the ice loss is assumed to proceed up the strait to Southampton Island over a period constrained by observations. The tidal energy and dissipation associated with the dominant M2 semidiurnal tide were found to be extremely high relative to their modern strengths prior to H1 but dropped sharply after the instability occurred. A globally averaged (eustatic) sea level rise of approximately 1 m associated directly with this simple model is inferred. The high‐amplitude tides at the Atlantic outlet of the Hudson Strait are further demonstrated to track inland with the retreating ice up the strait as the instability of the ice stream migrates inland at a moderate speed consistent with estimates of the inferred instability event duration.

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.
