In order to assess their influence on the marine hazard offshore the Cilento Promontory, the gassy sediments of the Cilento offshore have been thoroughly examined using the geological interpretation of a closely spaced grid of Sub-bottom Chirp profiles. Based on the general stratigraphic framework three areas have been previously identified, highlighting the different acoustic features occurring in the Cilento area. The acoustic anomalies include acoustic blanking, shallow gas pockets, and seismic units impregnated of gas, showing distinct acoustic responses. Understanding these anomalies and the related seismo-stratigraphic units in the offshore Cilento Promontory provides a valuable foundation for evaluating marine geohazards and may assist in developing strategies to mitigate geohazards in the Cilento area.
