Appendix

Figures AF1, AF2, and AF3 are plots of applied discharge velocity and steady-state hydraulic gradient, which allow for visual assessments of consistency and linearity.

Figures AF4, AF5, AF6, AF7, AF8, and AF9 are additional SEM and EDS images used to quantify the differences in grain size and characterize minor compositional constituents (e.g., pyrite) in greater detail.
