Abstract. Abrupt climate changes from 18 to 15 thousand years before present (kyr BP) associated with Heinrich Event 1 (HE1) had a strong impact on vegetation patterns not only at high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, but also in the tropical regions around the Atlantic Ocean. To gain a better understanding of the linkage between high and low latitudes, we used the University of Victoria (UVic) Earth System-Climate Model (ESCM) with dynamical vegetation and land surface components to simulate four scenarios of climate-vegetation interaction: the pre-industrial era, the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), and a Heinrich-like event with two different climate backgrounds (interglacial and glacial). We calculated mega-biomes from the plant-functional types (PFTs) generated by the model to allow for a direct comparison between model results and palynological vegetation reconstructions. Our calculated mega-biomes for the pre-industrial period and the LGM corresponded well with biome reconstructions of the modern and LGM time slices, respectively, except that our pre-industrial simulation predicted the dominance of grassland in southern Europe and our LGM simulation resulted in more forest cover in tropical and sub-tropical South America. The HE1-like simulation with a glacial climate background produced sea-surface temperature patterns and enhanced inter-hemispheric thermal gradients in accordance with the "bipolar seesaw" hypothesis. We found that the cooling of the Northern Hemisphere caused a southward shift of those PFTs that are indicative of an increased desertification and a retreat of broadleaf forests in West Africa and northern South America. The mega-biomes from our HE1 simulation agreed well with paleovegetation data from tropical Africa and northern South America. Thus, according to our model-data comparison, the reconstructed vegetation changes for the tropical regions around the Atlantic Ocean were physically consistent with the remote effects of a Heinrich event under a glacial climate background.

AbstractVeins of tourmalinite were formed by wallrock alteration adjacent to steep fractures in bleached, indurated Skiddaw Group metasedimentary rocks around Crummock Water, north-west Lake District. The vein rock is a fine-grained granoblastic mosaic of tourmaline, quartz, and minor rutile in which bedding is preserved. Brecciation, in which tourmalinite fragments are set in a coarser quartz-tourmaline matrix, is present in some veins. Networks of cross-cutting quartz veinlets with tourmaline, chlorite, and muscovite are very common. The tourmaline is intermediate schorl dravite and mostly brown in plane polarized light, though prisms in breccia matrix and veinlets have blue, low-Ti cores and brown rims. Comparison of tourmalinite and host-rock analyses indicates almost complete loss during tourmalinization of K, Rb, Li, Ba, As, and La, plus depletion in Ce, Y, Na, Sr, P, and Mn. The elements Si, B, Mo, and erratically, minor F, W, and Sn were introduced. Cu, Pb, Zn, and Ca show both gains and losses probably due to initial depletion and subsequent local enrichment. Reduction in Al, Zr, and Ti concentrations relates to dilution by introduced silica. The tourmalinite veins were formed by the action of hydrothermal fluids derived from the concealed late-Caledonian granitic intrusion responsible for the thermal metamorphism of the country rocks.
