‘DeltaCAN - A new data set of Canadian Arctic and subarctic coastal deltas’
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Arctic coasts constitute the critical interface between land and sea, and are subject to rapid changes caused by a warming climate. Current trends throughout the Arctic show increasing erosion trends, while other parts of the coast are experiencing prograding trends. Until now, a vast majority of our knowledge of Arctic coastal evolution is confined to site-specific studies with limited geospatial representation. Here, we present DeltaCAN, a novel data set on the locations of Canadian deltas larger than 500 m in width derived by visual interpretation of freely available satellite imagery. DeltaCAN is Canada's first nationwide coastal detection covering 250.000 km of coastline in the Arctic, identifying 2712 deltas. The inventory is based on inspection of remotely-sensed satellite imageries, developed through an expert-based mapping approach where we implemented a quality control mechanism to assess the completeness of the data set. The DeltaCAN data set allows for assessing changes at an unprecedented spatial extent, improving our understanding of delta morphodynamics.

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.
