Combined geophysical, geological, and geochemical analyses were conducted to investigate gas-hydrate occurrence in the Sorokin Trough, Black Sea. This study concentrates on a 3D high resolution seismic grid recorded with 13 ocean bottom stations on Sevastopol mud volcano. The 3D nature of the experiment results from the geometry of densely spaced profiles as well as the cubical configuration of the densely spaced receivers on the seafloor (~300 m station spacing).
