Reporting and Presentation of Modeling Results

Modeling work is not complete until it is effectively presented either orally or in a report. Often, managers or regulators, who review the geochemical modeling work, are not expert on the subject. Clear presentation is the key. 

A presentation of modeling work needs a description of the conceptual model, the assumptions in the model, sources of thermodynamic and kinetic data, comparison of modeling results with filed and laboratory data, and model predictions. Some simple descriptions of the modeling code are also needed. Model limitations should be clearly stated.
