Abstract
The Elbow structure (50°59’N, 106°43’W) is located in south-central Saskatchewan on an\nelbow of the South Saskatchewan River. It was initially discovered using seismic methods by\nCarter Oil in 1943, and was then verified through drilling by Imperial Oil in 1945. Initially,\nthe structure was interpreted to be formed by either anticlinal or salt tectonism but was\nlater confirmed to be a crater impact. The Elbow structure is 8 km in diameter and circular\nin plan, with a central structurally uplifted area of fractured and brecciated target rocks\nsurrounded by a ring depression. The impact occurred between 370 to 420 million years ago\nduring the Devonian Period. Although seismic and gravity studies had been carried out by\noil and gas companies in the last century, which lead to the discovery and verification of\nthe Elbow structure, no electromagnetics studies (in particular magnetotellurics) have been\nused for Elbow crater exploration since then. In September 2019, a magnetotellurics (MT)\nsurvey was carried out at the Elbow site to study any subsurface geoelectric disturbance\ncaused by the impact. All aspects of a magnetotellurics study including survey planning,\nfield operation, data acquisition, processing and analysis, and inverse and forward model\ning are discussed in the thesis. Additionally, applications of finite-element modeling on the\nmagnetotellurics method using numerical modeling software COMSOL Multiphysics are dis\ncussed. The first application of numerical modeling focuses on the general magnetotellurics\nlayered Earth problem. The second application of finite-element modeling focuses on the\neffect of geomagnetically induced current (GIC) flow in overhead conducting skywires on the\nmagnetotellurics signal, particularly the vertical component of the magnetic field.

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 it
