ShellTrace: Growth and trace element uptake modelling in bivalve shells

Description

This package contains formulae used to model the growth and development of bivalve shells based on digitized coordinated of shell increments in a longitudinal cross section thorugh the shell. The growth model is combined with XRF mapping results of the same cross section and a seasonal growth rate model to model trace element concentrations and uptake rates into the bivalve shell. de Winter, N. J. (2017) <doi:10.5194/gmd-2017-137>

Details

Formulae in this package form the several steps of the model, and are not meant to be used individually. The order and application of these functions is outlined in the publication in Geoscientific Model Development that bears the name of the model (de Winter, in review)
