Use of liquefaction-induced features for paleoseismic analysis - An overview of how seismic liquefaction features can be distinguished from other features and how their regional distribution and properties of source sediment can be used to infer the location and strength of Holocene paleo-earthquakes
TLDR
In the field of geotechnical analysis of sediment deformation, the most important criterion is that a seismic liquefaction origin requires widespread, regional development of features around a core area where the effects are most severe.About:

Identifying triggers for liquefaction-induced soft-sediment deformation in sands
Geraint Owen,Massimo Moretti +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a methodology is proposed for analysing soft-sediment deformation structures within their overall sedimentological and palaeoenvironmental context in order to refine and improve criteria for distinguishing the action of ‘external’ (allogenic) triggers, including earthquakes, from ‘internal” (autogenic) trigger.

Recognising triggers for soft-sediment deformation: Current understanding and future directions ☆
TL;DR: Most of the 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 Sedimentology in Alghero, Sardinia, Italy, which took place from 20th-23rd September 2009 as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms and controls on the formation of sand intrusions
R.J.H. Jolly,Lidia Lonergan +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the formation of sandstone dykes and sills is investigated by considering them as natural hydraulic fractures, where the seal on an unconsolidated, overpressured sand body fails the resulting steep hydraulic gradient may cause the sand to fluidize.

Massimo Moretti,Luisa Sabato +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed morphological analysis and detailed analysis of the soft-sediment deformation structures in fine-grained sandstone and claystone alternations are presented.

Landslides caused by earthquakes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the characteristics, geologic environments, and hazards of landslides caused by seismic events and found that the maximum area likely to be affected by landslides in a seismic event increases from approximately 0 at M ≅ 4.0 to 500,000 km2 at M = 9.2.
