    • Light-toned salty soils and coexisting Si-rich species discovered by the Mars Exploration Rover Spirit in Columbia Hills 

      Wang, Alian; Bell, J. F. III; Li, Ron; Johnson, J. R.; Farrand, W. H.; Cloutis, E. A.; Arvidson, R. E.; Crumpler, L.; Squyres, S. W.; McLennan, S. M.; Herkenhoff, K. E.; Ruff, S. W.; Knudson, A. T.; Chen, Wei; Greenberger, R. (Journal of Geophysical Research, 2008-12-19)
      Light-toned soils were exposed, through serendipitous excavations by Spirit Rover wheels, at eight locations in the Columbia Hills. Their occurrences were grouped into four types on the basis of geomorphic settings. At ...
    • Mineralogic constraints on sulfur-rich soils from Pancam spectra at Gusev crater, Mars 

      Johnson, J. R.; Bell, J. F. III; Cloutis, E.; Staid, M.; Farrand, W. H.; McCoy, T.; Rice, M.; Wang, A.; Yen, A. (Geophysical Research Letters, 2007-07-06)
      The Mars Exploration Rover (MER) Spirit excavated sulfur-rich soils exhibiting high albedo and relatively white to yellow colors at three main locations on and south of Husband Hill in Gusev crater, Mars. The multispectral ...
    • Temporal observations of bright soil exposures at Gusev crater, Mars 

      Rice, M. S.; Bell, J. F. III; Cloutis, E. A.; Wray, J. J.; Herkenhoff, K. E.; Sullivan, R.; Johnson, J. R.; Anderson, R. B (Journal of Geophysical Research, 2011-01-27)
      The Mars Exploration Rover Spirit has discovered bright soil deposits in its wheel tracks that previously have been confirmed to contain ferric sulfates and/or opaline silica. Repeated Pancam multispectral observations ...
