The outputs of spectral unmixing, endmember, and abundance estimates are important for identifying the material composition of mixtures and the applicability of models and techniques is highly dependent on the variety of circumstances and factors that give rise to mixed pixels.

- 26 July 2001
Observational evidence for a mid-latitude reservoir of near-surface water ice occupying the pore space of soils is reported and it is inferred that the reservoir was created during the last phase of high orbital obliquity less than 100,000 years ago, and is now being diminished.

The OMEGA investigation, on board the European Space Agency Mars Express mission, has identified and mapped mafic iron-bearing silicates of both the northern and southern crust, localized concentrations of hydrated phyllosilicates and sulfates but no carbonates, and ices and frosts with a water-ice composition of the north polar perennial cap.

Evidence is shown that dusty, water-ice-rich mantling deposits on Mars formed during a geologically recent ice age that occurred from about 2.1 to 0.4 Myr ago, a key pacemaker of ice ages on the Earth.

A correlation exists between ice-layer radiance as a function of depth and the insolation variations in summer at the martian north pole, similar to what has been shown for palaeoclimate studies of the Earth.
Subsurface water and clay mineral formation during the early history of Mars

- 3 November 2011
Clay minerals, recently discovered to be widespread in Mars’s Noachian terrains, indicate long-duration interaction between water and rock over 3.7 billion years ago, and available data indicate substantial Martian clay formation by hydrothermal groundwater circulation and a Noachia rock record dominated by evidence of subsurface waters.
