GEMS:

Gibbs Energy Minimization Software for Geochemical Modeling

See presentation (pdf). Why GEM-Selektor and GEM Software? See an overview.

Currently, GEM Software includes three code packages and a default thermodynamic database:  

• GEM-Selektor v.3 (GEMS3): the interactive code package for geochemical modeling
  

• GEMS3K: the standalone code for solving for geochemical equilibria (with TSolMod library)
  

• GEMSFITS: the generic parameter-fitting code coupled with the GEMS3K code
  

• GEMS TDB: the default chemical thermodynamic database of GEM-Selektor package
  

GEM software is distributed "as is" in its present state of development by the Laboratory for Waste Management (LES) of the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) with two purposes: 

• to promote the GEM method and software into the academic research community;
• to gather the users feedback, vital for making the software more functional and reliable.

GEM Software is always under development (as indicated in the Newsticker). According to Google Scholar, it has been cited in more than 1500 publications.
