Lacustrine carbonates accumulate in all climates and in any tectonic situation. Their
depositional patterns are assessed through a database involving literature representing …

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 …

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 …

During a period of 82 years (1931–2013), 39 genetic terms were introduced for various
deposits. Of the 39 terms, only ten are meaningful in understanding the true depositional …

Soft-sediment deformation structures induced by seismic liquefaction and/or fluidization
receive much attention in sedimentological, structural and palaeoseismic studies. The direct …

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

The present research explores a diverse suite of soft sediment deformation structures
(SSDS) combined with clastic dykes and shear deformation bands distributed throughout a …

Abstract The Piceance Creek basin formed as a continental foreland basin ca 53 to 48 Ma in
the early to middle Eocene. On a global basis, the basin contains one of the richest oil shale …

Soft-sediment deformation structures associated with slumps and mass transport deposits
(MTDs) are generally considered to form at the surface when unlithified sediment moves …
