title: Seismoacoustic Study of the Shallow Gas Transport and Reservoirs in the Vicinity of Seabed Fluid Seepage of the Black Sea
abstract: This thesis investigates in detail the subsurface structures of mud volcanoes and gas seeps, and presents the gas/fluid migration mechanisms and intermediate gas reservoirs related to the mud volcanoes and gas seeps, influenced by sedimentary processes, tectonic movements, sea level changes and gas hydrate formation. In this case study, the PhD work focused on the central Black Sea and the continental slope of the Kerch Peninsula margin (particularly the Kerch seep area), where two different ven
