Surface deposits on Europa provide our most direct window to the composition of the putative subsurface ocean. Spectral models based on cryogenic reference spectra can now separate endogenic effects (aqueous geochemistry, internal convection, cryovolcanism) from exogenic effects (magnetospheric charged particle bombardment, ultraviolet photolysis, impacts) that contribute to the current surface composition. We have found sulfuric acid hydrate abundance to be independent of underlying geologic unit, while the relative proportions of the remaining materials are diagnostic of geology.
