Figure 1 exhibits the contribution of susceptibility and magnetic mineral distribution in the
upper 1 m of the Brotherswater core. Higher mineral content is portrayed by higher Xlf and
Xarm values, which have a similar pattern in the range of depth. The core has the highest
value of mineral content both in Xlf and Xarm that reaches a peak at 16.37m depth with a
23.5m (10-8m-3kg-1) and 138.4m (10-8m-3kg-1), respectively, spike. It can be seen that there
was a sharp decrease both from 16.05m to 16.04m depth in mineral content that could have
possibly been influenced by less erosion before 5000 years ago because of a bulk of forest
during that period.

16.0m and 16.42m depth, supporting an increase of coarse grain size material based
on soil-derived particles. Greater Xfd values would potentially refer to soil erosion
connected to the big soil (coarse grain) from the higher value of the Xarm pattern at
the same depth. Larger values for Xfd and Xarm that match indicate coarse sediment
size, possibly from either flooding or major storm events.

Figure 3 presents the scenario of storm events that demonstrate variation in peak
pattern in the upper 1 m of the Brotherswater core. Severe storm events are denoted
with higher Xlf and Xfd values, where there is great supply of mineral matter, thus
there is a lower Xarm value indicative of coarse material from severe flooding. From
the graph patterns, severe storm conditions took place at approximately 15.82m,
15.85m, 16.0m, 16.08m, 16.37m, 16.52m and 16.7m depths. Higher Xfd established
high soil-derived catchment from a different location and increases when on the top
of the soil. Indeed, the peaks imply high magnetic mineral concentrations (Xlf),

probably signifying soil mineral matter catchment from excess rainfall during storms
event conditions in the past.
