Abstract
Protecting Permafrost: Addressing the Climate Threat of Arctic Thaw examines the significant climate threat posed by Arctic permafrost thaw. Climate heating is causing permafrost to thaw, leading to the release of heat-trapping gases like carbon dioxide and methane, which in turn accelerates climate change. The report assesses 13 potential interventions to slow or stop thaw and reduce emissions, with three being ready for deployment: wildfire management, caribou herding, and conservation or restoration of peatlands and wetlands. The report emphasizes the need for a comprehensive approach, including improving scientific understanding, gathering better data, developing permafrost thaw models, and creating governance frameworks. It recommends that the Canadian federal government establish a permafrost thaw mitigation task force to develop a national strategy, leveraging Canada's scientific capabilities and international collaborations to address this global challenge.

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 it
