Abstract (EN): Magnetic susceptibility measurement methodology, its reproducibility and accuracy of analysis were tested on soil samples to evaluate its potential use in forensic applications. It was observed that magnetic susceptibility can enable discrimination between soil samples, measured values are reproducible over time and the analysis can be carried out on small samples. However, in order for this method to be used in a forensic soil investigation, it is important to always adopt the same analytical protocol during analysis. © 2013 The Geological Society of London.
