Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This thesis investigates the morphodynamics of an intertidal ridge and runnel sand bar system on the Northumberland Strait, Nova Scotia. Measurements of wave transformation, flow velocity, and sediment transport were made over the course of individual tidal cycles in order to examine how these variables change with water depth and the resultant effect on sediment transport and ridge morphology. Hydrodynamic and sediment dynamic measurements were made with a series of resistance type wave staffs, electromagnetic current meters, and optical sensors. These measurements were repeated to encompass a variety of non-storm incident wave conditions. The entire ridge and runnel system and a single ridge were surveyed repeatedly using a variety of techniques. Results indicate that flow velocity is a combination of current and wave influences. Ridges remained stable over the study period, which suggests that this ridge and runnel beach is a low-to-moderate equilibrium system.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
