The phrase "a shallow level and" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing a superficial or basic understanding of a topic or concept, often in contrast to a deeper or more comprehensive analysis.
Example: "The report only provides a shallow level and does not delve into the complexities of the issue."
Alternatives: "a superficial level" or "a basic level of understanding".
Interestingly, Elkan points out that current AI methods can only achieve a shallow level of understanding and answer a limited range of questions.
The deformation took place at a shallow level of the crust, and the sediments are still unmetamorphosed.
The percentage of volumetric water content was recorded at a shallow level (45 degree angle) and a deep level (90 degree angle) at each of the nine locations on the ground.
Prior to magma effusion, magma may have risen to a shallow level in the conduit and released hot gas, or heated the surrounding groundwater, which may have caused this slightly increased thermal anomaly, as was observed before previous eruptions, such as the 1986 Izu-Oshima (Kagiyama and Tsuji 1987), 1999 Shishaldin (Dehn et al. 2002) and 2004 Mt Asama (Kaneko et al. 2006) eruptions.
Therefore, it is considered that this eruption was phreatomagmatic and new magma had reached to a shallow level under the Shinmoedake crater.
The Q-DLTS spectra of nitrogen-doped films, however, exhibited a shallow level peak with the activation energy of approximately 0.05 eV.
Portions of the lake flank were being uplifted in an endogenous manner (Figure 9c), suggesting that magma was being intruded at a shallow level below the lake.
Some recent studies also report that normal faults observed at a shallow level in the sediment are not deeply rooted (Zitter et al. 2012).
My observation (mine alone, no science involved) is that it somehow satisfies our craving for connection on a shallow level, but it is so shallow it leaves us wanting more.
Presumably, using this category information, a shallow level of processing is sufficient for non-blinkers to select one or more targets at an early stage, mostly restricting further processing to targets only.
