Abstract
The acoustic wipeout zone, a seismic response commonly found on the northern and northwestern Gulf of Mexico continental slope, is a fundamental problem associated with using high resolution seismic profiles for evaluations of seafloor geology. This article addresses one case in the feature variability spectrum from Garden Banks 161 where unusual geotechnical and geologic properties of the sediment and seafloor of the area are addressed and explained.
