abstract: Contains all the formulae of the growth and trace element uptake model described
  in the equally-named Geoscientific Model Development paper (de Winter, 2017, <https://doi.org/10.5194/gmd-2017-137>).
  The model takes as input a file with X- and Y-coordinates of digitized growth increments
  recognized on a longitudinal cross section through the bivalve shell, as well as
  a BMP file of an elemental map of the cross section surface with chemically distinct
  phases separated by phase analysis. It proceeds by a step-by-step process described
  in the paper, by which digitized growth increments are used to calculate changes
  in shell height, shell thickness, shell volume, shell mass and shell growth rate
  through the bivalve's life time. Then, results of this growth modelling are combined
  with the trace element mapping results to trace the incorporation of trace elements
  into the bivalve shell. Results of various modelling parameters can be exported
  in the form of XLSX files.
