      <abstract>Tofty airborne magnetic and radiometric survey, Alaska, Geophysical Report 2025-4, covers an area within the Tanana Quadrangle west of Fairbanks, Alaska. Magnetic and radiometric data were collected with a helicopter between August 25, 2024, and August 30, 2024, by EON Geosciences Inc. The survey contains a single block covering 298 km2. A total of 2,231.3 line-kilometers were collected. The magnetometer was installed inside the stinger attached to the helicopter nose. The airborne gamma-ray spectrometer was mounted on the interior floor of the helicopter cabin. The block was flown with a line spacing of 200 m, except for the northeastern portion of the block that was flown with a 100 m spacing. The nominal height of the survey was 134 m. Tie-lines for magnetic leveling were flown at 1,200 m spacing. The data, as well as additional metadata, are available from the DGGS website: https://doi.org/10.14509/31494</abstract>
      <purpose>The data from the Tofty airborne magnetic and radiometric survey, Alaska, will be used for improving the understanding of the region's geology and mineral potential and to promote resource exploration. This survey is part of the continuous regional magnetic data coverage of Alaska.</purpose>
