Abstract: Abstract Morphological change and activity of submarine mud volcanoes (MVs) are still poorly understood. In this study, we integrated acoustic subbottom profiles, Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) high-resolution bathymetric and backscatter data, Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) seafloor observations, Bottom Water Temperatures (BWT), and compositions of gas samples collected from three research expeditions, to study the morphology and activity of the Helgoland mud volcano (Helgoland MV) in the Sorokin Trough of the Black Sea. Based on the micr...
