The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The Climate of Early Mars (2016, background): “( One mineral, carbonate, is conspicuous by its low abundance on the Martian surface (Niles et al. 2013; Ehlmann & Edwards 2014).”
Selection of the InSight Landing Site (2017, background): “Recent reviews of clays and hydrated minerals on Mars show no detections in the plains of western Elysium (Ehlmann et al. 2011; Ehlmann and Edwards 2014).”
Petrology on Mars (2015, methodology): “Spectroscopy from orbiting spacecraft has also been an effective mineralogic tool (e.g., Bibring et al. 2006; Christensen et al. 2008; Murchie et al. 2009; Carter and Poulet 2013; Ehlmann and Edwards 2014), but with the same limitations.”
Geologic Constraints on Early Mars Climate (2018, background): “To resolve this paradox will require climate modelers to consider one or more of low temperatures, intermittency, patchiness, strong positive feedbacks, or bistability (Head 2017, Ehlmann et al. 2016, Ehlmann & Edwards 2014, McLennan 2012).”
