  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;Seismic reflection images from the deep-water Aleutian and Bowers Basins 
of the Bering Sea contain many hundreds of acoustic Velocity-AMPlitude 
(VAMP) anomalies, each of which may represent a large accumulation of 
natural gas hydrate. Against a backdrop of essentially horizontal sedimentary 
reflections, the VAMP anomalies stand out as both high-amplitude bright 
spots and zones of vertically aligned horizon distortions. The VAMPs are 
interpreted as natural gas chimneys overlain by concentrated hydrate caps.&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
