Evidence of pockmarks and seafloor gas venting in the northwestern Arabian Sea
Abstract Marine gas seeps are common along tectonically active margins, but they have not been previously observed along the Arabian continental margin. Here we present evidence of gas escape structures, pockmarks, and active gas seeps in the Gulf of Oman. Multibeam bathymetry, water column backscat...
