One of the reasons I love geoscience, particularly geology, is the logic-based approach to much of problem solving. A lot of the science is done by combining qualitative descriptions with logical determinations of relationships between rock units and/or events that leave some mark in the rock record. Quantitative work is often done to understand dates and rates. Very little of the work relies on correlations and significance testing, so p-hacking is quite rare.
