Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Despite the uncertainties that exist within climate change projection models, the only way to reduce our vulnerability to future changes in sea level is to implement adaptation strategies. The primary goal should not be to determine a worst-case scenario, but instead to identify the most vulnerable areas first, and to gradually introduce phased adaptation strategies into relatively lower risk areas. The present study looks at how we assess the potential impacts of sea level rise and how we can make use of these assessments in planning and design practice. As a case study for impact and vulnerability assessments, the flood risk areas on the coast of Prince Edward Island are mapped and a method for conducting a vulnerability assessment for individual properties is proposed. Finally, design strategies that were generated through the assessment process are presented as examples of no-regrets adaptation strategies.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
