The origin of water in the primitive Moon as revealed by the lunar highlands samples (2014, background): “…to the overall inventory of lunar water, including primary indigenous water acquired during lunar accretion (Elkins-Tanton and Grove, 2011; Hui et al., 2013; McCubbin et al., 2010a; Saal et al., 2013), late addition of water through asteroidal and cometary impacts (Greenwood et al., 2011;…”
Water in the Moon's interior: Truth and consequences (2015, background): “…lava flows from the lunar maria (Boyce et al., 2010; McCubbin et al., 2010; Greenwood et al., 2011; Barnes et al., 2013; Tartèse and Anand, 2013; Tartèse et al., 2013, 2014), and various types of plutonic rocks (Greenwood et al., 2011; McCubbin et al., 2010; Hui et al., 2013; Barnes et al., 2014).”
The abundance, distribution, and isotopic composition of Hydrogen in the Moon as revealed by basaltic lunar samples: Implications for the volatile inventory of the Moon (2013, methodology): “On the other hand, Hui et al. (2013) have measured the H2O content of nominally anhydrous minerals from two ferroan anorthosites (FAN) and a Mg-suite troctolite. Their results predict a relatively wet lunar mantle, with mantle cumulates formed before the formation of the FAN flotation crust containi”
