Gas escape along the Palmachim disturbance in the Levant Basin, offshore Israel

High-resolution seismic reflection and bathymetry data are analyzed to investigate the subsurface configurations promoting fluid escape along the Palmachim disturbance; a 20 km × 10 km gravitational collapse structure, offshore southern Israel. The dataset reveals seabed pockmarks with diameters ran...

Description
Summary:High-resolution seismic reflection and bathymetry data are analyzed to investigate the subsurface configurations promoting fluid escape along the Palmachim disturbance; a 20 km × 10 km gravitational collapse structure, offshore southern Israel. The dataset reveals seabed pockmarks with diameters ranging between 200 and 500 m, and depth of
