WHAT TO EXPECT

All documents in the Oceanography & Marine Science section follow a standardized research format:

  1. Quick Summary — A concise overview of the topic and its significance
  2. Tiered Claims — Evidence organized from Verified (Tier 1) through Dubious (Tier 4)
  3. Counter-Arguments — Real, published scholarly objections (never fabricated)
  4. Bibliography — Chicago-style citations with DOIs where available
  5. Cross-Reference Index — Links to related documents across the corpus

Each claim includes specific evidence: exact dates, named scholars, measurements with units,

and institutional attribution. Source Confidence scores reflect bibliography quality

(peer-reviewed journals = 3 pts, academic books = 2 pts, other sources = 1 pt).
