During the last decades, the scientific community
spent many efforts to study the gas hydrates in
oceanic and permafrost environments. In fact, the gas
hydrate occurrence has a global significance because
it is a potential energy resource. Moreover, it may
play a role in global climate change. The detection
of a bottom-simulating reflector (BSR), by using
seismic methods, has allowed to define the
distribution of gas hydrate. In the last decades,
along the Chilean continental margin the BSR is well
reported by several geophysical cruises. In
particular, the BSR is recognized along...
