These datasets describe samples taken from yedoma and thermokarst deposits on the Baldwin Peninsula (BAL), West-Alaska. Five locations were sampled: a yedoma exposure (B2), three drained thermokarst lake basin (DTLB) exposures (B2, B3 and B4) and a thermokarst lake (UPL1-L1). The collection and analysis of the samples are described in Jongejans et al. (in review). The first four datasets include sampling dates, type of environment (active layer, permafrost or thermokarst lake), site coordinates and the depth from the sediment surface. All datasets include cryolithological, sedimentological, and biogeochemical parameters measured in the laboratories at AWI Potsdam
