reflectors (BSRs), which have been interpreted as being formed at the base of a methane
hydrate stability field. Such reflectors might arise either from an impedance contrast between
high‐velocity, partially hydrated sediments and water‐saturated sediments or from a contrast
with partially gas‐saturated sediments. These alternatives may be hard to distinguish by
conventional amplitude‐versus‐offset or waveform modeling approaches. Here we …
