    abstract = {New records of planktonic foraminiferal {δ18O} and lithic and foraminiferal counts from Eirik Drift are combined with published data from the Nordic Seas and the  ” Ice Rafted Debris ({IRD}) belt”, to portray a sequence of events through Heinrich event 1 (H1). These events progressed from an onset of meltwater release at 19 ka {BP}, through the 'conventional' H1 {IRD} deposition phase in the {IRD} belt starting from 17.5 ka {BP}, to a final phase between 16.5 and 15 ka {BP} that was characterised by a pooling of freshwater in the Nordic Seas, which we suggest was hyperpycnally injected into that basin. After 15 ka {BP}, this freshwater was purged from the Nordic Seas into the North Atlantic, which preconditioned the Nordic Seas for convective deep-water formation. This allowed an abrupt re-start of North Atlantic Deep Water ({NADW}) formation in the Nordic Seas at the B{\o}lling warming (14.6 ka {BP}). In contrast to previous estimates for the duration of H1 (i.e., 1000 years to only a century or two), the total, combined composite H1 signal presented here had a duration of over 4000 yrs (19–14.6 ka {BP}), which spanned the entire period of {NADW} collapse. It appears that deep-water formation and climate are not simply controlled by the magnitude or rate of meltwater addition. Instead the location of meltwater injections may be more important, with {NADW} formation being particularly sensitive to surface freshening in the {Arctic/Nordic} Seas.},
