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 Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity has investigated the landing site in Eagle crater and the nearby plains within Meridiani Planum, and the rocks are interpreted to be a mixture of chemical and siliciclastic sediments formed by episodic inundation by shallow surface water, followed by evaporation, exposure, and desiccation.

TL;DR: The Mars Exploration Rover Spirit and its Athena science payload have been used to investigate a landing site in Gusev crater, but no clear evidence for lacustrine sedimentation has been found to date as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution, Classification, and Ages of Martian Impact Crater Lakes
N. A. Cabrol,Edmond A. Grin +1 more
TL;DR: Paleolakes in impact craters on Mars were characterized at global scale using the Viking Orbiter data as discussed by the authors, and 179 paleolakes were identified in impact structures formed by the influx of water and sediment derived from valley networks and channels that can be classified into three different fluviolacustrine systems: closed, open and lake-chain systems.

On the possibility of liquid water on present‐day Mars
Robert M. Haberle,Christopher P. McKay,James M. Schaeffer,N. A. Cabrol,Edmon A. Grin,Aaron P. Zent,Richard C. Quinn +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a validated general circulation model was used to determine where and for how long the surface pressure and surface temperature on Mars meet the minimum requirements for the existence of liquid water in the present climate system: pressures and temperatures above the triple point of water but below the boiling point.
