Geochemical data indicate that protons released during pyrite (FeS2) oxidation are important drivers of mineral weathering in oxic and anoxic zones of many aquatic environments including those beneath glaciers. Oxidation of FeS2 under oxic, circumneutral conditions proceeds through the metastable in...
