Computer models are widely used to reveal underlying reasons for why water compositions change, how soils develop, how toxic compounds spread through the environment, how microorganisms access energy supplies and nutrients, and how major geologic processes lead to the formation of ore deposits, petroleum reservoirs, volcanoes, and natural disasters. All too often access to such models requires advanced training, major commitments of time, and proprietary software. The Water-Organic-Rock-Microbe (WORM) computational ecosystem provides access to these calculations through an open-source, online platform with built-in software tools and interactive demonstrations accessible to anyone through an internet browser. Students, teachers, researchers, and members of the general public have been actively learning about and performing geochemical calculations on the WORM Portal since the server went live in early 2020. As a facility the WORM Portal will broaden its variety of applications and its user base.This project will create new computational modules, expand engagement throughout the Earth Science community including underrepresented groups and students, and provide multiple new formats for delivering WORM computational tools. This project will extend WORM modeling tools to include mass transfer during weathering and alteration, and chemical power supplies that support microbes in natural fluids and experimental media. In addition, new complementary modules will enhance existing thermodynamic data regression and estimation modules. Engagement will expand through online workshops, tutorials developed from Indigenous perspectives, and in-class student projects, as well as introductory and advanced videos. In addition to maintaining the current WORM Portal and establishing its cloud-based counterpart, access will be diversified though a portable, containerized version of WORM operable out of internet contact.This project is co-funded with contributions from the Geoinformatics Program, the Instrumentation & Facilities Program, and the Geobiology & Low-Temperature Geochemistry Program; and a collaboration between the Directorate for Geosciences and Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure to support AI/ML and open science activities in the geosciences.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

计算机模型被广泛用于揭示为什么水成分发生变化，土壤发展方式，有毒化合物如何在环境中传播的方式，微生物如何获得能源供应和养分的根本原因，以及主要的地质过程如何导致矿石沉积物，石油储量，伏击量和自然疾病的形成。经常访问此类模型需要高级培训，主要时间承诺和专有软件。水有机摇滚 - 微杆（WORM）计算生态系统通过开放源代码，在线平台提供内置的软件工具和交互式演示，通过Internet浏览器访问这些计算。自从服务器于2020年初上线以来，学生，老师，研究人员和公众一直在积极学习和执行对蠕虫门户网站的地球化学计算。作为设施，Worm Portal将扩大其各种应用程序和用户群的范围。该项目将创建新的计算模块，以扩大蠕虫的新形式，包括多个未来的机构，并提供了多个新形式，并提供了新的计算。该项目将扩展蠕虫建模工具，以包括在风化和改变期间的传质，以及支持天然液体和实验培养基中微生物的化学动力供应。此外，新的互补模块将增强现有的热力学数据回归和估计模块。参与将通过在线研讨会，从土著角度开发的教程以及课堂学生项目以及介绍性和高级视频来扩展。除了维护当前的蠕虫门户并建立基于云的对应物外，尽管可以在互联网接触中可操作的蠕虫的容器，因此访问将是多元化的。该项目与地球形式计划，仪器和设施计划以及Geoobiology＆Weeobiology＆Weeobeperology＆Weeobeperalogy＆Weeobyology＆Weeobeperature＆Plopperature GeochoChoChemistry计划共同资助；以及地球科学局与高级网络基础设施办公室的合作，以支持AI/ML和地球科学中的开放科学活动。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响来评估通过评估来支持。
