Oceans on Mars: An assessment of the observational evidence and possible fate (2002, background): “…and clays by TES on Mars Global Surveyor [Bandfield et al., 2000; Christensen et al., 2001] and the nature of alteration assemblages in Martian meteorites [Bridges et al., 2001] also cast doubt on any model that has liquid water stable at the Martian surface for geologically significant periods.”
Sulfur on Mars (2010, background): “Ca- and Mg-sulfates have been observed in the interiors of some Martian meteorites (i.e. inside fusion crusts), suggesting that these secondary minerals formed on Mars (e.g. Bridges et al. 2001; Ming et al. 2008).”
Heterogeneous distribution of H2O in the Martian interior: Implications for the abundance of H2O in depleted and enriched mantle sources (2016, background): “…based on evidence of degassing, hydrous magmatism, and hydrothermal activity from Martian meteorites (McSween and Harvey 1993; Swindle et al. 2000; Bridges et al. 2001; Dann et al. 2001; McSween et al. 2001; Borg and Drake 2005; McCubbin et al. 2009, 2010a, 2012; Bridges and Schwenzer 2012;…”
Subsurface water and clay mineral formation during the early history of Mars (2011, result): “Predictions for our proposed environmental model include (1) direct detection of hydrothermal/metamorphic minerals or mixed-layer clays formed during diagenesis; (2) clay-bearing crustal units with elemental abundances little changed from that of basalt, implying a low W/R ratio during alteration; (”
The Sample Analysis at Mars Investigation and Instrument Suite (2012, background): “Martian meteorites contain minor (<1 % by volume) clays, sulfates, halides, and carbonates (e.g. Bridges et al. 2001; Rao et al. 2005), and chemical data from all six Mars landers suggests that some aqueous minerals are widespread in soils (e.g. Clark and van Hart 1981; Wanke et al. 2001; Hecht et…”
Outgassing History and Escape of the Martian Atmosphere and Water Inventory (2015, background): “They do indicate that weathering and carbonate formation on Mars has been active at least at very low levels throughout the Noachian, Hesperian, and Amazonian periods (Gooding et al. 1988; Mittlefehldt 1994; Bridges et al. 2001; Niles et al. 2010).”
Quantifying absolute water content of minerals using near‐infrared reflectance spectroscopy (2005, methodology): “…water absorption in Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES) observations [Kuzmin et al., 2004], the presence of hydrated minerals in the SNC meteorites [Bridges et al., 2001; Gooding, 1992], H+ abundance as measured by the Mars Odyssey GRS instruments [Boynton et al., 2002; Feldman et al., 2002;…”
Mineralogy and evolution of the surface of Mars: A review (2007, background): “Siderite has also been identified in other altered SNC’s and has been linked to evaporitic paragenesis (Bridges et al., 2001).”
