An analysis of a continuum X-ray Diffraction/Fluorescence instrument
… the debate about the origin of the outcrops at Meridiani Planum on Mars. These samples were run on both CXRDF and a laboratory X-ray diffractometer. The datasets were compared, looking at peak identification, d-spacing resolution, and whether the instruments could definitively identify each …

Hypervelocity impacts and the evolution of planetary surfaces and interiors
… a structural model of Endurance Crater in Meridiani Planum on Mars, which is constrained by observations gathered by the MER-B Opportunity rover. These results reveal new insights about the planform shape of the crater excavation flow, as well as the connection between crater shape and …

Fluids in Planetary Systems
… by the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity at Meridiani Planum, water must have been removed from the system after a geologically short period of time, before fluids came into equilibrium with mafic surface materials and became alkaline.

Geomechanical and tectonic investigations into the geologic history of Mars at local, regional, and global scales
… properties of a sedimentary rock unit at Meridiani Planum by utilizing data collected in situ by the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity. The geological engineering technique of rock mass rating (RMR) was used to characterize the strength and deformability of a jointed outcrop of the upper …
