Abstract

 Bright spots were observed on seismic time sections acquired in 1991 and 1993 during cruises carried out within the UNESCO-ESF Training-through-Research (TTR) program in the deep Black Sea mud volcanic area. We demonstrate the results of detailed study of the anomalous reflections, which indicate that gas is responsible for the bright spots in the study area. Most of the bright spots are characterized by inverted polarity and enlarged elastic energy attenuation.
