Wagner, B. (author), Bennike, O. (author), Bos, J.A.A. (author), Cremer, H. (author), Lotter, A.F. (author), Melles, M. (author), TNO Bouw en Ondergrond (author)Two sediment cores of 70 and 252 cm length were recovered from Hjort Sø, a small lake on Store Koldewey, Northeast Greenland, and studied with a multidisciplinary approach in order to reconstruct the local environmental history and to test the relevance of proxies for paleoenvironmental information. The basal sediments from the longer core are...article 2008

Cremer, H. (author), Bennike, O. (author), Wagner, B. (author), TNO Bouw en Ondergrond (author)In this review, we compile the evidence of lake and isolation basin sediments for the chronology of the last deglaciation along the coastal parts of eastern Greenland between 70°N and 83°N. Radiocarbon dates of remains of freshwater plants and bulk organic carbon extracted from lacustrine sediments suggest that the present day ice-free parts of...article 2008

Wagner, B. (author), Bennike, O. (author), Klug, M. (author), Cremer, H. (author), TNO Bouw en Ondergrond (author)A 2.73 m long sediment sequence from Loon Lake, located at 18m a.s.l. on outer Geographical Society Ø, East Greenland, was investigated for its chronology and changes in physical and biogeochemical properties, macrofossils, and grain-size distribution. The predominance of marine fossils throughout the sequence, dated by 14C AMS to between 8630...article 2007

Cremer, H. (author), TNO Bouw en Ondergrond (author)The physico-chemical characteristics and the planktonic diatom flora were studied in high arctic Loon Lake (Geographical Society Ø, East Greenland). Loon Lake is a cold, monomictic, alkaline, low conductive and likely oligotrophic lake with a maximum water depth of 11.70 m and a low diversity of planktonic diatoms. In summer 2003, the lake-water...article 2006

Lam, F.P.A. (author), TNO Fysisch en Elektronisch Laboratorium (author)Tidal analysis was carried out on current measurements at a 'cross-shelf' transect off Greenland at 71°N. The diurnal tides manifest themselves mainly as a barotropic continental shelf wave, travelling southward along the shelf slope. This follows from the amplitude distribution of the diurnal tidal components and from the rotation sense of the...article 1999

de Maat, M.P.M. (author), Green, F. (author), de Knijff, P. (author), Jespersen, J. (author), Kluft, C. (author), Gaubius Instituut TNO (author)Increased plasma factor VII coagulant activity (FVII:C) has been associated with the risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD). Differences in plasma FVII:C among individuals are associated with three common polymorphisms in the FVII gene. Therefore, we investigated FVII polymorphisms in four populations that differ in their risk of developing...article 1997

de Maat, M.P.M. (author), de Knijff, P. (author), Green, F.R. (author), Thomas, A.E. (author), Jespersen, J. (author), Kluft, C. (author), TNO Preventie en Gezondheid (author)Elevated plasma fibrinogen levels represent an increased risk for cardiovascular diseased, but the mechanism explaining this association is still not clear. Genetic differences may play a role, because it has been shown that individuals who carry the rare alleles of polymorphisms in the genes for the Bβ-chain (Bcl I and G/A 455) and the Aα-chain...article 1995
