• Long-term monitoring of martian gully formation and evolution with MRO/HiRISE (2015, background): “We note that signs of mass wasting might actually indicate very recent activity, and polygonal fractures are mainly seen in alcoves within the mid-latitude mantle (cf. Levy et al., 2009) and so may not be seen in all gullies of similar preservation.”
• Geologic history of Mars (2010, background): “the polygonal terrain, date to the late Amazonian (Mangold et al., 2004; Levy et al., 2009).”
