Heterogeneous distribution of H2O in the Martian interior: Implications for the abundance of H2O in depleted and enriched mantle sources (2016, background): “…X-site within Martian apatite (i.e., McCubbin et al. 2012), just as is typical of igneous apatites from Earth and the Moon (Piccoli and Candela 2002; Boyce and Hervig 2008, 2009; Boyce et al. 2010; Greenwood et al. 2011; Barnes et al. 2013, 2014; Tart ese et al. 2013, 2014; McCubbin et al. 2015b).”
Water in the Moon's interior: Truth and consequences (2015, background): “…objects during the last stages of accretion, as neither the Earth nor the Moon have the bulk composition of carbonaceous chondrites that are thought to have delivered water and other volatiles to both bodies (Marty, 2012; Halliday, 2013; Saal et al., 2013; Tartèse et al., 2013; Füri et al., 2014).”
The origin of water in the primitive Moon as revealed by the lunar highlands samples (2014, methodology): “These predictions are in apparent disagreement with the measured water contents from KREEP-related alkali-suite and Mg-suite lunar highlands samples that seem to be characterised by moderate to low water contents (e.g., Boyce et al., 2013; Greenwood et al., 2011; McCubbin et al., 2010a; Robinson et ”
