“…The depth recognition of magnetic susceptibility presented in this article is the first attempt to recognize the magnetic properties of lower horizons for the whole area of Krakow. In 2017 the map of topsoil magnetic susceptibility was published [9]. The measurements and sampling were carried out in a mesh of 2 x 2km providing the most accurate data for magnetic susceptibility mapping in this high urbanized area.…”

The paper concerns the distribution of apparent magnetic susceptibility in soil profiles located in the areas of topsoil magnetic susceptibility anomalies in Krakow. The type of land use, possible sources of magnetic carriers, and the type of soil were taken into account. Additionally, at each soil profile, a comparison between soil magnetic susceptibility and the results of geochemical analyzes of soil samples was made. The study shows very characteristic changes in magnetic susceptibility with depth, reflecting the interdependencies between natural and anthropogenic factors. A visible magnetic susceptibility maximum at the depth of 10-30 cm is observed at each soil profile. The maximum is associated mainly with the deposition of atmospheric dust and its vertical range depends on the level of anthropopression and natural conditions of soils. At the depth above 40 cm in the eastern part of Krakow, a correlation between the magnetic susceptibility and the soil type (chernozems de-veloped on loess) was found. All indicates that the thicknesses of contaminated upper horizons are not accidental and they depend on human interactions with the environment and the type of soil. An attempt at template establishment with the sources of magnetic particle carriers for different places in the city was made. As the result, in high urbanized sites, the extreme values of magnet-ic susceptibility rapidly change in short vertical distances can identify the richness of anthropo-genic layers with various types of anthropogenic ferrous material and/or additionally Fe-carrying objects buried in soils. In industrialized sites, anthropogenic input plays the most important role in the creation of soil magnetic characteristics. What is more, industrial pollution hides the natural magnetic properties of chernozems. In opposite, the studies at the sites under low anthropopression (mainly located in forests) allow for better insight into magnetic proper-ties arising during pedogenic processes, indirectly giving information about soil conditions. In the forest areas, the lowest values of soil magnetic susceptibility were measured. Additionally, the influence of pedogenic and lithogenic factors on forest soils is manifested in the results. Among the sites concerned, particular attention should be paid to the vicinity of the steel plant because of the agricultural land in the surroundings.

“…The apparent magnetic susceptibility (κa) was measured: The surveys were carried out at 112 sites over a 2 x 2 km grid, covering an area of almost 327 km 2 . The magnetic susceptibility anomalies observed on the map [9] are the subject of interest in this paper.…”

“…580ºC), their magnetization is usually aligned with the current direction of the Earth's magnetic field (Fassbinder, 2015). Because all types of the soils are characterized by their more or less magnetic properties (magnetization, magnetic susceptibility) and enhanced magnetization of a magnetically enriched topsoil is a typical phenomenon (Armstrong et al, 2012;Fassbinder, 2015;Łyskowski et al, 2018;Wojas, 2017), hence archaeological structures refilled by topsoil generate a distinctive positive magnetic anomaly on magnetograms. In contrast, negative anomalies may have numerous reasons (Fassbinder, 2017;Welc et al, 2019).…”

The article presents application of the new geophysical amplitude data comparison method (ADCM), resulting from integrated geophysical survey using ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and magnetometry. The ADCM was applied to recognize the horizontal and vertical stratigraphy of a Roman senatorial villa located in Santa Marina (western part of Croatian Istria). The measurements were carried out in 2017−2019 at this site, accompanied by a use of GPR and gradientometer. These two methods significantly differ from each other, but on the other hand, they are complementary to some extent. This is due to the fact that the methods register different types of underground materials. The GPR records electromagnetic waves reflected from real buried remains or boundaries between geological or archaeological layers that differ significantly in electrical properties. The magnetic method, in turn, records the anomalies of the magnetic field intensity resulting from the underground concentration of ferromagnetic minerals, hence it is ideal for searching structures filled with organic matter or burning material. However, a separate usage of these methods does not guarantee a full picture of archaeological structures that are preserved underground. Only the application of the ADCM allowed for a comparison of GPR and magnetic amplitude data reading, following which a spatial image (2D and 3D) of the preserved archaeological structures and the geological stratigraphy of the Santa Maria site were obtained.

The work focuses on the study of soils on the territory of the Chapaevskaya ecological trail in the city of Perm (Russia). The studied soils are subject to contamination by technogenic magnetic particles and heavy metals in their composition. The forest litter of the urbanity gray humus soil formed on the eluvial-deluvial deposits is contaminated with Cd, Cu, Ni, Co, and Zn. The urbanity gray humus horizon accumulates Cu and Zn. The values of the magnetic susceptibility of the highly magnetic phase of the surface horizon are high. The maximum value of the magnetic susceptibility of the forest litter was 55.64 × 10-3 SI. The bulk content of heavy metals and Fe in the highly magnetic phase is several times higher than in the soil before magnetic separation.
