• Sequence of infilling events in Gale Crater, Mars: Results from morphology, stratigraphy, and mineralogy (2013, background): “While all the final four landing sites display layered sediments and alteration minerals (phyllosilicates), Gale was selected because of its geologic diversity, both in terms of morphology and mineralogy [Golombek et al., 2012].”
• Selection of the InSight Landing Site (2017, methodology): “Finally, because the spacecraft does not move after landing, evaluation of traversability was not necessary (e.g., Golombek et al. 2012a).”
