In efforts to understand regolith evolution on airless bodies, increasing attention is now being payed to those processes and events that alter or 'weather' the surfaces of regolith grains. This attention has developed partly out of the ongoing need to optimize models of planetary reflectance spectra and the growing recognition that diverse types of grain coatings and surface alterations occur which can strongly influence mineral reflectance properties. In addition to their implications for optical properties, surface features on regolith grains have provided useful clues to the basic thermal, chemical, and radiation history of regoliths.
