A new high-resolution P-Cable 3D seismic dataset was acquired in July 2016 targeting a seafloor pockmark cluster at the northern end of Svyatogor Ridge, offshore west Svalbard. The processing and interpretation of this dataset formed the primary focus of this thesis. The seismic processing sequence...
