We develop a new, combined experimental and theoretical approach to make reliable predictions for the limiting case of surface reaction kinetics controlled growth. We solve the inverse problem of determining the growth velocity from observations of the evolution of the morphology of GaN islands grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition and make use of crystal symmetry and established theorems. We are able to predict the growth for both convex and concave surfaces, with faceted and curved features. We also give a general guideline for deducing growth velocities from experimental observations.
