Unified maps reflecting the regional morphology of gravity and geomagnetic fields across a wide sector of the western Black Sea continental margin, summing over 65,000 sq.km of which about 47,000 sq.km are offshore, were obtained by integrating gravity and magnetic data recently measured off the Romanian and Bulgarian coast with similar historic data, independently measured onshore during the previous decades. Thus, the resulted composite map of gravity anomaly compiles the Bouguer and Free Air gravity anomalies obtained from measurements carried on onshore and respectively offshore. Unlike this, the composite map of magnetic anomaly integrates magnetic total field data acquired recently offshore and by airborne measurements over Romanian onshore several decades ago, with magnetic vertical component data measured on Bulgarian dryland. The geophysical composite maps resulted are advanced tools for the future researches and modellings aiming to decipher the deep geological structure of the western Black Sea continental margin, of the processes that govern its past and actual geodynamics.
