We described the Batagay permafrost sequence during the June 2014 field campaign. The 60m high outcrop was sampled from top to bottom along its height, ideally in 1m steps, but depending on its accessibility. The sampling procedure was carried out as follows: (1) the cryolithological characteristics...
