Neither did the linked abstract of the journal article. Most frustrating. The Earth-facing half of the Moon seems very carbon-poor. If the lunar Farside is far less so, then it becomes a potential ISRU carbon source for long-term lunar settlement and industrialization. That would, frankly, be more important than any “water” that might be hiding near the poles.
