Abstract
High-integrity carbon offset systems require scientifically robust and spatially explicit frameworks to quantify carbon pools and fluxes across ecosystems. We present an integrative methodology that combines eddy covariance measurements, airborne and satellite remote sensing, and modeling to extrapolate near real-time carbon flux monitoring to larger areas, using the old-growth temperate forests of Chilean Patagonia as a case study. Our approach delivers high-resolution aboveground biomass carbon density (30 m) and net ecosystem exchange (NEE, 30 m—30 min) estimates using flux tower data. By integrating ground-based flux measurements with high-resolution remote sensing, the proposed methodology constrains model parameters and spatial extrapolation, thereby reducing uncertainty relative to conventional inventory-based approaches. Our approach offers a replicable framework for informing climate policy, conservation planning, and emerging nature-based finance instruments while meeting operational needs in terms of scalability, technological integration, reproducibility, and traceability.

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
