Short summary

Crystal growth and diffusion are common processes in geology. Our software MovingBoundaryMinerals.jl calculates compositional profiles in diffusion couples by simulating diffusion-growth processes for geometries with planar/cylindrical/spherical symmetries. Our software has been tested versus various benchmark cases and is provided as an open access software package. This package allows the further use of diffusion/growth phenomena in the calculation of the thermal histories of rocks.
