Geodynamic modelling philosophies

The two overarching geodynamic modelling philosophies: Specific modelling and generic modelling.

The two overarching geodynamic modelling philosophies. (a) Specific modelling and (b) generic modelling have different scientific goals and need to be used, communicated, and reviewed differently.

Manuscript structure (geodynamic modelling)

Manuscript structure for a geodynamic numerical modelling study following the IMRAD structure.

Manuscript structure for a geodynamic numerical modelling study following the IMRAD structure. In particular, the methods section should include a description of the physical and numerical model, the design of the study, and of any techniques used to visualise and analyse the numerical data.

Effective visualisation (geodynamic modelling)

Effective visualisation through a scientific use of colours.

Effective visualisation through a scientific use of colours. Non-scientific colour maps (a,b) like rainbow always misrepresent data, are often not intuitive, and are inaccessible to a large portion of the readers, while scientific colour maps (c,d) like lajolla or vik (Crameri et al., 2020) ensure unbiased and intuitive data representation and are inclusive to readers with colour-vision deficiencies and even colour blindness.

Geodynamic modelling procedure

The procedure of a geodynamic modelling study.

The procedure of a geodynamic modelling study encompasses everything from the assemblage of both a physical and a numerical models based on a verified numerical code, to the design of a simplified model setup based on a certain modelling philosophy, the validation of the model through careful testing, the unbiased analysis of the produced model output, the oral, written, and graphical communication of the modelling approach and results, and the management of both software and data. Constant (re-)evaluation and potential subsequent adjustments of previous steps are key, and indeed necessary, throughout this process.
