Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This data includes phytoplankton taxonomy undertaken on samples from an ice-covered lake in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies (Sibbald Lake). The presence of a liquid water layer between ice layers suggested a unique freeze thaw process. To identify the role that this may play on phytoplankton communities during ice-covered periods, a taxonomic analysis was undertaken. Samples were taken from the underlying, unfrozen water (pelagic), the liquid water layer between the main and surface lake ice layers (interstitial) and from the upper ice layer (in-ice). Samples from pelagic water, interstitial water, and surrounding snow were processed for d2Hydrogen and d18Oxygen isotopes to identify the interstitial water layer source. Data is separated into two files, separating the phytoplankton taxonomy data and isotopic analysis data Principal Investigator David Barrett Site location name Sibbald Lake, Kananaskis area, Alberta, Canada GPS Coordinates 51°02'55.3"N 114°51'59.6"W Phytoplankton taxonomist Ferdous Nawar Isotope analysis lab University of Calgary Isotope Science Lab Collection date February 25, 2024

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.
