The foundations of geology in general and volcanology in particular are inseparable from imperial colonialism.
“Earth scientists themselves have begun to recognize that the foundations of geology in general (Scarlett, 2022) and volcanology in particular (Pease, 2021;Scarlett et al., 2022) are inseparable from imperial colonialism”

“La geociencia ha comenzado a reconocer que los fundamentos de la geología en general (Scarlett, 2022) y de la vulcanología en particular (Pease, 2021; Scarlett et al., 2022), son inseparables del colonialismo, es decir, que han sido moldeado por las agendas de la expansión imperial (Cartier, 2021).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
