Late-Pleistocene sediments from Lake Issyk-Kul, the Tien Shan range, Kyrgyzstan

23.01.2025

The aim of the study is to record the occurrence of sediment deformation structures in one of the tectonically most active areas on the globe, the Tien Shan range in Central Asia and to examine the significance of the deformations as indicators of palaeoseismicity.

Soft-sediment deformation structures in form of balls and pseudonodules are exposed in the Issyk-Kul basin, within

interfingering beds of shallow lacustrine, beach and fluviatile origin.
