Abstract
This book presents a long overdue appreciation of the geologist J. Tuzo Wilson and his profound contributions to the development of our understanding of plate tectonics.It describes how, as a teenager, Tuzo worked as a junior geological assistant one summer doing field mapping north of Lake Superior.He enrolled at the University of Toronto to study physics and mathematics.His continuing summers of fieldwork, with the Geological Survey of Canada, however, stimulated his interest in geology and he managed to arrange to take a combined Physics and Geology program, thereby instituting a program that persists to this day.After graduation, he obtained an MA from Cambridge University and a PhD from Princeton, carrying out a fairly conventional field-based study of an area in the Beartooth Mountains of Montana.On returning to Canada he joined the Geological Survey of Canada as an assistant geologist, conducting field-based mapping studies over three seasons in Nova Scotia, northern Quebec and the Barren Lands of the Northwest Territories.At the outbreak of war in 1939 he enlisted in the Royal Canadian Engineers.Tuzo spent much of the war based in Britain and later Sicily, making use of his geological expertise to train soldiers in the drilling, tunnelling and explosives techniques that would be useful in the war effort, and in the analysis of aerial photographs to identify enemy positions and develop maps of battle fronts.Although he wished to become actively involved in the war effort in Europe, he was transferred back to Canada in 1943 to take up a position as director of Army Operational Research, in which position, among other things, he launched a spirited program to prepare the Canadian Armed Forces for high-latitude combat.This program gained added impetus when the war with Germany was replaced by the Cold War.Tuzo remained with this program until 1946,

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.
