• The Sample Analysis at Mars Investigation and Instrument Suite (2012, methodology): “…hydrated minerals as demonstrated by the neutron detector instrument (Mitrofanov et al. 2004) on the Mars Odyssey spacecraft, the infrared spectroscopy measurements from Mars Express and MRO (e.g. Murchie et al. 2009), and numerous discoveries from the MER mission rovers (e.g. Ming et al. 2008).”
• Mineralogy of the Martian Surface (2014, background): “…there appears to be a clear relationship between areas of predicted groundwater upwelling (Andrews-Hanna et al. 2010) and locations of orbital detections of sulfate minerals including at Terra Sirenum, Meridiani Planum, and Aram Chaos (Murchie et al. 2009a, Roach et al. 2010a, Wray et al. 2011).”
• Subsurface water and clay mineral formation during the early history of Mars (2011, background): “as well as by spatially restricted sulphate-bearing layered deposit”
• Petrology on Mars (2015, methodology): “Orbital CRISM spectra (Wray et al. 2009) had earlier shown the presence of smectite, best matched by nontronite.”
• The Climate of Early Mars (2016, background): “Iron and magnesium rich phyllosilicates (clays) are found extensively over Noachian terrain (Poulet et al. 2005; Bibring et al. 2006; Mustard et al. 2008; Murchie et al. 2009; Carter et al. 2010).”
• The Sedimentary Rock Record of Mars: Distribution, Origins, and Global Stratigraphy (2012, methodology): “Mg/Fe-clay minerals are found in smaller deposits throughout the ancient southern highlands (Bibring et al. 2006) and they, like those at Nili, may be the result of deep crustal alteration (Murchie et al. 2009b).”
• The High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) of Mars Express and its approach to science analysis and mapping for Mars and its satellites (2016, background): “…for mapping different minerals at the surface of Mars, including igneous minerals like pyroxene and olivine, secondary minerals such as various sulfates, clay minerals, and oxides (e.g. Bibring et al., 2006; Poulet et al., 2007; Murchie et al., 2009), as well as ices (e.g. Langevin et al., 2007).”
