abstract: An extension of 'CoordinateCleaner' (Zizka et al. 2019 <https://doi.org/10.1111/2041-210X.13152>)
  tailored to large-scale species occurrence data. Flags common problems in occurrence
  records, such as coordinates at country centroids, capitals or biodiversity institutions,
  zero or equal coordinates, records at sea, in the wrong country or outside the species
  range, duplicates, outliers within a species, and datasets with converted or gridded
  coordinates, with the test definitions and default buffers of 'CoordinateCleaner'
  apart from documented differences. It also reads the quality warnings GBIF attaches
  to each record, the basis of record and the establishment means, and checks records
  at sea or on land against the habitat of their genus from the Interim Register of
  Marine and Nonmarine Genera. Records are flagged and kept, and users choose afterwards
  which flags to filter on. Data frames of a few million records are flagged in seconds,
  and GBIF snapshots of billions of records are processed by reading Parquet files
  in chunks.
