To Freeze or Not to Freeze: An Analysis of the Approaches to Maritime Boundaries amidst Global Sea Level Rise
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract for Scopus Indexing: This article examines the various approaches to addressing the issue of maritime baselines in the context of the current climate crisis and inevitable global sea level rise. As sea levels rise, coastal State boundaries may change due to the submersion of land and the increase of internal waters. The possible approaches to shifting maritime entitlements and boundaries include the proposal to freeze the current maritime baselines of coastal States, adapting the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea to regulate changing baselines, or creating a new legal framework to handle changing maritime entitlements. In particular, this article focuses on the effect of sea level rise on low-lying island States, whose land could be entirely submerged or uninhabitable, and the legal framework that should be used to protect those States. A comprehensive solution is required to ensure that all States have their interests and entitlements protected.

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.
