The Global Flows of Iron from Lithosphere to Technosphere
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This record contains the source code, raw and processed datasets, model outputs, and Jupyter notebooks used in the study “The Global Flows of Iron from Lithosphere to Technosphere.” The collection supports full transparency and reproducibility of the analyses presented in the manuscript. The materials document global iron flows from extraction sites to steel production and in-use stocks, providing spatially resolved datasets and computational tools used to generate figures and results. Outputs include NetCDF files, tabular data, and visualizations. Source code reproduces preprocessing routines, modeling steps, and plotting procedures. Jupyter notebooks demonstrate the workflow from data preparation to final results. Contents src/ – Source code for data processing, modeling, and analysis data/raw/ – Raw datasets used in the analysis data/output/ – Cleaned and formatted datasets ready for analysis data/netcdf/ – Final outputs in NetCDF format data/plot/ – Generated plots and figures data/atlas/ – Selected SESAME Human-Earth Atlas (Faisal et al., 2025) datasets used in this study All files are organized so users can recreate the spatiotemporal analysis and adapt the workflow for related research on material cycles or industrial systems.

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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
