Another main type of data is what we can gather from the surface, either from field measurements and observations or from remote sensing (e.g., satelite data)
These data include:
Topographic/Bathymetric maps
Surface geology (structure & stratigraphy)
Nearby outcrops (or analogs)
Heat flow measurements
HC seeps
Etc.
