Over the last several decades, remote spectroscopic studies have very successfully been used to explore the composition of various solid surfaces in the solar system. Building on these initial successes with mineral identification, recent efforts have focused on more detailed spectral inferences including assessing the composition and abundance of mafic minerals. Such efforts are complicated by the fact that most silicate-rich surfaces include lithologic combinations of several mafic minerals which have overlapping absorption bands. Two of the more quantitative approaches to spectral interpretation are non-linear mixture modeling based on Hapke's radiative transfer theory and absorption band modeling. Both have been used successfully, yet as described below, these two methods are very complimentary offer even greater promise if they can be successfully combined.
