- Bridges analysed the variation on Gale Crater surface compositions, using ChemCam data, in order to check for any link to the variability in methane abundances discovered by the SAM instrument and reported in the paper. As a ChemCam team member, MSL team member and operations science theme lead he had key roles in the planning, acquisition and interpretation of that surface compositional data e.g. Figure S13 and its relation to interpreting variability in methane abundances. He drafted parts of the manuscript related to the compositional work.
