TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the surface enrichment is the result of a minor amount of transport and deposition by aqueous processes on the surface of olivine-bearing basalts.

TL;DR: The observations suggest that individual lakes were stable on the ancient surface of Mars for 100 to 10,000 years, a minimum duration when each lake was stable both thermally (as liquid water) and in terms of mass balance (with inputs effectively matching evaporation and loss of water to colder regions).

TL;DR: The first laser-induced breakdown spectrometer (LIBS) was used on the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) rover Curiosity for remote compositional information using the first LIBS on a planetary mission, and provided sample texture and morphology data using a remote micro-imager.
