The field workshop will be held in Lithuania and Western Latvia. The main topic regards soft-sediment deformation structures (SSDS) development caused by glacio-isostatic rebounds and earthquakes. The earthquakes can be reflected in the sedimentary record in layers (seismites) that are characterized by abundant SSDS, commonly including load casts, pseudonodules, ball-and-pillow structures, and genetically associated structures such as flame structures, that give the affected layer (or set of layers) a deformed – sometimes even chaotic – appearance over large lateral distances. Moreover, the Workshop will focus on detailed sedimentological description and development of SSDS in different settings and caused by different trigger mechanisms in the Pleistocene and Holocene sediments. In addition,the Workshop offers a forum to all participants for presentations and discussions of recent achievements in Quaternary geology, neotectonics, palaeogeography and glacial processes connected to glacio-isostatic rebound.
