New developments in onshore paleoseismic methods, and their impact on Quaternary tectonic studies
Since the publication of Paleoseismology (2nd Edition) in 2009, there has been no
comprehensive survey of new trends in Quaternary tectonics. This paper seeks to remedy …

Recognising surface versus sub-surface deformation of soft-sediments: Consequences and considerations for palaeoseismic studies
Soft-sediment deformation structures associated with slumps and mass transport deposits
(MTDs) are generally considered to form at the surface when unlithified sediment moves …

Sedimentary records of liquefaction: Implications from field studies
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 …

Seismically-induced down-sagging structures in tephra layers (tephra-seismites) preserved in lakes since 17.5 cal ka, Hamilton lowlands, New Zealand
We analysed numerous soft-sediment deformation structures (SSDSs) identified in seven
unconsolidated, up to 8-cm thick, siliceous tephra layers that had been deposited in~ 35 …

Recent advances in luminescence dating of the Late Quaternary sediments in the Baltic States, Northern Europe: A review
Late Quaternary glaciations, deglaciations, sea-level changes and aeolian activity have
resulted in an abundance of clastic sediments that currently cover the three Baltic States …

Late Pleistocene earthquakes imprinted on glaciolacustrine sediments on Gnitz Peninsula (Usedom Island, NE Germany)
Oscillation of an ice sheet can be accompanied by earthquakes due to local reactivation of
pre-existing faults related to the ice loading. A sufficiently large magnitude of an earthquake …

Liquefaction and re-liquefaction of sediments induced by uneven loading and glacigenic earthquakes: implications of results from the Latvian Baltic Sea coast
Seven internally-deformed layers were recognised in the shallow marine bay sediments
deposited during mid Marine Isotope Stage 2 along the Latvian Baltic Sea coast bluff at …
