This data set is part of a larger data harmonization effort to make lake sediment core data machine readable and comparable. Here we standardized grain size data of sediment core PG1984, retrieved in 2009 from Lake Sysy-Kyuele (Yakutia, Russia) at 2.4 m water depth. The thermokarst lake Sysy-Kyuele is situated in an exorheic basin in a coniferous forest area and has one outflow and no visible inflow. It lies at an elevation of ca. 73m a.s.l. with a surface area of ca. 1 km2 and a maximum lake water depth of estimated 2.5 m. The 1.2 m sediment core was retrieved by a UWITEC hammer action gravity corer during the RU-Land_2009_Lena-transect expedition of the Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI, Germany, Potsdam) in cooperation with the North Eastern Federal State University (NEFU, Russia, Yakutsk). Grain-size was measured using a Coulter LS 200 Laser Diffraction Particle Analyser at AWI Potsdam.
