Involutions in the Middle Pleistocene (Anglian) Barham Soil, eastern England: a comparison with thermokarst involutions from arctic Canada
Involutions in the early Anglian Barham Soil at Newney Green, Essex, and Badwell Ash, Suffolk, in eastern England, are attributed to soft‐sediment deformation during an episode of regional thermokarst development. The involutions show a striking resemblance in morphology and size to thermokarst invo...
