Deformations formed in unconsolidated sediments are known as soft-sediment deformation
structures. Their nature, the time of their genesis, and the state in which the sediments …

Significant increases in our understanding of Carboniferous geological and geographical
processes, including plate tectonics, palaeomagnetism, climatology and sea level changes …

Triggers for liquefaction-induced soft-sediment deformation structures in sands include
seismic shaking, effects of water waves, rapid sediment accumulation and groundwater …

Most of the 16 papers in this special issue were presented at a session entitled “The
recognition of trigger mechanisms for soft-sediment deformation” at the 27th IAS Meeting of …

The effects of liquefaction in saturated sand bodies under a variety of driving forces are
described from shaking table experiments, and structures from the geological record are …

Soft-sediment deformation structures induced by seismically triggered liquefaction and/or
fluidization (seismites) have been reproduced with a digital shaking table. We have used …

Extensive deep-water mass-transport deposits are observed in both slope and basin-floor
settings. A detailed understanding of mass-transport deposits, in terms of emplacement …

Synsedimentary deformation structures are recognized in Upper Miocene deposits of the
eastern Betic Cordillera (SE Spain). A singular stratigraphic section in these deposits shows …

The Lower Permian succession of the Central Southern Alps (Lombardy, Northern Italy) was
deposited in fault-controlled continental basins, probably related to transtensional tectonics …

Abstract The Applecross Formation (upper Proterozoic Torridon Group, northwest Scotland)
was deposited as planar-laminated and cross-bedded coarse sands in braided streams. Soft …
