A comparison of permafrost landslides in previously glaciated and unglaciated terrain along the Dempster Highway; Eagle Plains, Yukon, and Peel Plateau and Interior Plain, Northwest Territories
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This thesis examines the areal distribution of retrogressive thaw slumps (RTS) and active layer detachment slides (ALDS) in three areas of the Dempster Highway adjacent to the Richardson Mountains, in Canada’s Northwest Territories and Yukon between 1949 and 2017. It also provides new data on the rate of growth, slope, elevation, and aspect over time. The study locations are within the following areas: the unglaciated Eagle Plains, west of the Richardson Mountains; the previously glaciated Peel Plateau, east of the Richardson Mountains; and the Interior Plateau, east of Fort McPherson. Interpretation of aerial photos and satellite images shows that unglaciated terrain within Eagle Plains had far fewer retrogressive thaw slumps per 100 km2, compared with the Peel Plateau. ALDS in both study areas showed a correlation with preferential drainage feature orientation and occurred primarily on steep valley sidewalls. No RTS or ALDS where identified in the Interior Plateau study area.

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.
