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 …

There is growing recognition that sedimentary deposits related to high-energy, large-scale,
freshwater floods are widespread across the continents and, in the main, can be related to …

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 …

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

The lacustrine deposits of the San Lorenzo Cycle belong to the infill succession of the
SantʻArcangelo Basin, a Pliocene to Pleistocene satellite basin, developed close to the …

Load structures are a type of soft-sediment deformation structure comprising synforms (load
casts and pseudonodules) and antiforms (flame structures and diapirs) at an interface. They …

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

The susceptibility of grains in sediment to the liquefaction process causes the development
of deformation structures. Some sediments undergo liquefaction, others do not. There is a …

This work discusses the significance of particular types of soft-sediment deformations very
common within turbidite deposits, namely convolute laminations and load structures …

Superbly exposed soft-sediment deformation structures in Pleistocene fluvio-lacustrine
deposits along the southern border of the depression area called Bajo de Añelo …
