Post–10 Ma uplift and exhumation of the northern Coast Mountains, British Columbia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Apatite (U-Th)/He ages reveal three distinct periods in the exhumation history of the northern Coast Mountains (∼54°N). A well-developed helium partial retention zone indicates little or no exhumation between ca. 30 and 10 Ma. Beginning at 10 Ma and extending to at least 4 Ma the range underwent steady but slow exhumation of ∼0.22 mm/yr, after which the exhumation rate increased by at least 70%. An 85-km-long He age traverse across the orogen at sea level shows that vertical offsets on post-10 Ma faults are minor. Furthermore, the sea-level He ages (14–2.8 Ma) inversely correlate with local mean elevation along the traverse. These data suggest that the Coast Mountains first appeared as a significant topographic feature only within the past few million years. This history is not consistent with suggestions that uplift of the range resulted from formation of the Queen Charlotte basin in early-middle Miocene time. We speculate that intense erosion by alpine and continental glaciation after 2.5 Ma triggered isostatic uplift and creation of the modern topography of the Coast Mountains.

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.
