• Sustainable life support on Mars – the potential roles of cyanobacteria (2015, background): “Pavlov et al. (2012) andDartnell et al. (2007) assessed absorbed dose rates at the surface to be in the range of 50–150 mGy yr−1, and data from the Curiosity rover indicate an absorbed dose rate of 76 mGy yr−1 at Gale crater (Hassler et al. 2013).”
• Mars’ Surface Radiation Environment Measured with the Mars Science Laboratory’s Curiosity Rover (2014, unknown): “radiodurans would, if dormant, be eradicated in the top several meters in a time span of a few million years (28, 29).”
