Fluid property data for the online geothermal information system GeotIS

The LIAG Institute for Applied Geophysics operates the Geothermal Information System for Germany (GeotIS) since its inception in 2006. A significant nationwide expansion of geothermal energy requires a systematic enhancement of the available research data infrastructure with data on thermal waters, including chemical constituents and physico-chemical properties. To address these challenges, the THC-Prognos project aims to augment GeotIS by incorporating comprehensive fluid data. This expansion will involve collecting and standardizing thermal water analyses from various publications and datasets from various sources, ensuring their integration into a cohesive and accessible database. Enhanced functionality will be introduced to GeotIS, including the visualization of measurement locations, interactive query capabilities, and time series analysis of thermal water compositions. This will significantly aid both scientific research and operational planning by providing crucial insights into the hydrochemical properties of geothermal fluids, ultimately supporting the sustainable management and development of geothermal resources in Germany.
