Willi Dansgaard of Denmark is the namesake for the 'Dansgaard' half of the adjective.
'Heinrich' refers to 'so-called' Heinrich ice-rafting and iceberg discharge events ( boulders and everything to make glacier moraines ), transported for vast distances; associated with Ice Age terminations and Younger Dryas, which introduced freshwater pulses to the oceans surface water, affecting cessation of deepwater convection and circulation because of thermohaline/ density issues.
At 12,000-years ago there was a 'Allerod warming' where a vigorous deep convection returned.
