Importance of Glacier-Permafrost Interactions in the Preservation of a Proglacial Icing: Fountain Glacier, Bylot Island, Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Fountain Glacier is hydrologically unique in the Canadian Arctic for the large perennial icing in its proglacial valley. It is hypothesized that the icing holds information on the glacier hydrology and the role permafrost has on the overall hydrological system. A spring first observed in 1991, down valley from the glacier, is thought to be supplied by pressurized subglacial water. Aerial and geophysical surveys have been used in conjunction with thermal-hydrological modeling to study the spring’s stability and longevity of the icing. Results indicate that there is a well established temporal relationship between changes experienced by the glacier and the icing. It is suggested that the relationship between glacier and permafrost, is an unstable equilibrium, where the glacier drives the system out of equilibrium by altering the proglacial hydraulic conditions as it retreats, whereas the growth of permafrost restores the system back to a new hydro-thermal balance.

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.
