TY - JOUR PY - 1993// TI - Paleoliquefaction features as indicators of potential earthquake activity in the southeastern and central United States JO - Transportation research record A1 - Obermeier, Stephen F. SP - 42 EP - 52 VL - 1411 IS - N2 - Prehistoric earthquake-induced liquefaction features of Holocene age have been discovered in coastal South Carolina, in the epicentral area of the 1811-1812 New Madrid earthquakes, and in areas peripheral to portions to the New Madrid seismic zone. These discoveries show that areas of historic, moderate-to-strong earthquakes are likely to have been areas of strong prehistoric earthquakes in the central and southeastern United States. Locating prehistoric liquefaction features is valuable for identification of regions of potential strong earthquakes. Record URL: http://onlinepubs.trb.org/Onlinepubs/trr/1993/1411/1411-006.pdf
