Introducing a New Web-based Platform Calculating Thermodynamic Properties of Earth’s Fluid Systems

Presented herein is a novel online platform (https://efs.idsse.ac.cn/) that provides free access to the calculation of diverse thermodynamic properties of major terrestrial fluid systems. The platform is built upon our decades-long body of work—encompassing equations of state published over the past thirty years and complementary computer simulations (e.g., Duan et al., 2025, 2026). These equations have been widely adopted across an array of research fields, including COH cycle modeling, carbon sequestration, fluid-rock interactions, fluid inclusion analysis, marine biogeochemistry, gas hydrate studies, and petroleum/gas geochemistry. As documented on the platform’s citation page (https://efs.idsse.ac.cn/module1/citation.html), the equations have earned endorsement or positive citation from 688 leading universities worldwide or institutions, involving contributions from over 10,000 scientists. Designed as a dynamic, continuously updated tool, this platform streamlines and simplifies geochemical computations, empowering researchers to execute critical thermodynamic analyses with enhanced efficiency.
