The goal of GQAnalyzer is to be a tool to support the analysis of the chemical composition of different types of geological fluids (groundwater, geothermal waters and geothermal gases). This package includes several functions to create plots routinely used in hydrogeochemistry such as:
- Ternary diagrams
- Piper plots
- Modified Piper plots
- Durov plots
- Stiff diagrams
- Maucha diagrams
- Multirectangular diagrams
- Schoeller diagrams
- Radial diagrams
- ilr compositional plots
The plots used in the analysis of the chemical composition of geothermal fluids include:
- Custom ternary diagrams
- Giggenbach plot
The plots used in the analysis of the chemical composition of geothermal gases include:
- Custom ternary diagrams
- Grid geothermometers
The package includes functions to calculate several geothermometers including:
- Silica geothermometers
- Fournier-Potter geothermometer
- Na-K geothermometers
- Na-K-Ca geothermometer
- K-Mg geothermometer
- Mg-Li geothermometer
In addition, the package includes a set of functions to study mixing of different types of groundwater using the M3 algorithm.
Installation
The GQAnalyzer package is not available on CRAN and therefore it must be installed from github using:
devtools::install_github("khaors/GQAnalyzer")Usage
The GQAnalyzer package does not require compilations and once installed it can be directly used by loading it:

Shiny App
This package includes a shiny app called GQAnalyzer_gui designed to help in the interpretation of the chemical composition of groundwater, geothermal fluids and/or geothermal gases samples. This app can be called using:
