Abstract

The results of monitoring natural oil seeps in the Azov–Black Sea Basin with synthetic aperture radar (SAR) in the period from 2020 to 2022 are analyzed. The SAR images of European satellites Sentinel-1A and Sentinel-1B were mainly used for their search, detection, and study. Using the geoinformation approach, the main oil seep areas were identified and new oil seeps detected. They were verified by analyzing all available information on geological and geophysical features of the water basins, experimentally by subsatellite observations and measurements, as well as by alternative remote sensing methods, such as high resolution optical imagery. This made it possible to identify 28 oil seep sources in the Black Sea and one in the Sea of Azov. It is shown that the study of natural oil seeps, their distribution, and current activity is one of the important research tasks that is currently receiving considerable attention.
