Ocean Resilience in a Changing Climate
1. Introduction

Rising sea temperatures and ocean acidification are driving measurable changes in marine ecosystems. This study analyzes coral reef health across the Indo-Pacific between 2000 and 2020.

2. Methods

We analyzed data from 58 reef sites using in-situ temperature loggers, pH sensors, and benthic surveys. Trends were assessed using generalized additive models (GAMs).

3. Key Findings
Coral Cover (%) Over Time
4. Conclusion

Coral cover declined by 37% over the last two decades. Local adaptation strategies show promise, but global emissions reduction remains critical.

Provenance Reviewer
Provenance Reviewer04:32
Can you walk me through the key factors that influenced coral cover decline in your study?
Student04:45
Yes, the primary drivers were rising sea surface temperatures and ocean acidification. Both stress corals physiologically and make them more vulnerable to bleaching events.
Provenance Reviewer04:58
How did you distinguish the impact of temperature from other stressors in your analysis?
Student05:13
We used a GAM to isolate temperature effects while controlling for variables like pH, local pollution, and fishing pressure. Temperature remained a significant predictor across all models.
Provenance Reviewer05:28
What are the implications of your findings for coastal management?

The question has changed

“Did AI write this?”“Can you explain it?”

AI detection alone isn't enough. Provenance shifts integrity from suspicion to evidence, by inviting students to walk through the work they submit.

Not AI detection. Not misconduct adjudication. Provenance doesn't decide whether a student cheated. It produces structured evidence of whether they can explain their own work.

Three steps from submitted work to reviewable evidence.

  1. 01

    Meet students with their work

    Every student walks through the exact artifact they submitted (paper, model, dataset, or report) with the Provenance Reviewer.

  2. 02

    Ask them to walk through it

    Questions come from the decisions inside that artifact, not a generic test bank, so genuine understanding shows for itself.

  3. 03

    Get evidence of real understanding

    A rubric-mapped evidence record with AI-assisted recommendations for faculty review: clear, linked to the transcript, and human-decided.

The AI runs the review. Faculty decide.

Provenance never grades or decides on its own. Instructors configure the review up front and make every academic decision afterward.

  • Approve before it runs

    Instructors review, edit, and approve the questions and evaluation criteria before any student begins.

  • Traceable by design

    Every question traces back to the rubric and to a specific decision in the student's own artifact.

  • Final judgment is human

    After the session, faculty review the evidence and AI-assisted recommendations, then make the final call.

Evidence of understanding, built for a course, a department, or a campus.

Provenance plugs into the systems you already run and produces clear, evidence-linked records of what each student understands.

Grounded in real work

Every question traces to a decision in the student's own artifact.

Scored to your rubric

Outcomes map to the criteria your faculty already use.

Evidence-linked records

Reviewable transcripts that show how each conclusion was reached.

Fits your stack

Designed for LTI 1.3 grade passback and faculty-decided results.

Meets students where they are

Students respond by voice, text, or a combination, so the format fits the student rather than the other way around.
