Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The internal structure and stratigraphy of Pleistocene glaciotectonic features are best exposed in coastal cliffs and stream bluffs, as well as artificial human-made excavations. Such exposures of glaciotectonic structures and strata tend to be ephemeral. Features revealed at one point in time may be removed by continued erosion or excavation and, thus, new features become exposed. On the other hand, previous exposures often are obscured by slumping and vegetation growth. Major landforms, structures, sediments, and rock masses may remain more-or-less intact over decades, but the finer and more-detailed features may disappear within a few years. The consequences of this situation are reviewed in case studies from Canada, Denmark, and the United States. In order to fit together the glaciotectonic puzzle, field investigations must take place throughout a region and be repeated periodically over decadal time spans. Application of imagery and mapping techniques, especially UAS (drones), would be of great value for continuing research. In this way, previous results may be supplemented, verified, refined in greater detail, and preserved.

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.
