• Selection of the Mars Science Laboratory Landing Site (2012, background): “The Nili Fossae ellipse is characterized by alteration minerals and carbonates (Mustard et al. 2008, 2010; Poulet et al. 2005) and provides access to altered and unaltered Noachian crustal materials west of the ellipse and impact ejecta and Hesperian volcanic materials in the ellipse.”
• Mineralogy of the Martian Surface (2014, background): “They were originally detected in a few large outcrops in the southern highlands (Bibring et al. 2005, Poulet et al. 2005), and subsequent higher-resolution orbital data have shown additional exposures that are small but widespread, numbering in the thousands and found in locations where Noachian…”

• The potential science and engineering value of samples delivered to Earth by Mars sample return (2019, background): “Volatile degassing from Martian magmas has been linked to both acidic weathering on the surface as well as regional and global climate change (e.g., Tosca et al. 2004; Poulet et al. 2005; Bibring et al. 2006; Carr and Head 2010; Ehlmann and Mustard 2012).”
