Eagle Airborne Magnetic and Radiometric Geophysical Survey

Eagle airborne magnetic and radiometric geophysical survey, Geophysical Report 2021-2 v. 2, covers parts of the Nulato Quadrangle west of Fairbanks, Alaska. Magnetic and radiometric data were collected with a helicopter between June 4 and 17, 2024, by EON Geosciences Inc. The survey contains a single block covering 1,975 km², which includes an infill block with tighter line spacing located in the northcentral portion of the block. A total of 6,459 line-kilometers were collected. The magnetometer was installed inside the stinger attached to the helicopter nose, and the airborne gamma-ray spectrometer was mounted on the interior floor of the helicopter cabin. The block was flown with a line spacing of 400 m, and the northcentral infill block was flown with 200 m spacing. Tie-lines for magnetic leveling were flown at 1,600 m spacing. We updated this dataset in 2025 to refine processing, removing artifacts and excess noise present in the final products provided by the original contractor. The raw data were reprocessed by Baigent Geosciences. The International Geomagnetic Reference Field correction was recalculated accounting for aircraft height, and the data were relevelled using Baigent Geosciences software. A complete and detailed report on the reprocessing steps undertaken is included in the publication documents. The result of the reprocessing is that leveling artifacts have been removed and the data now display finer features, including well-defined lineaments and other anomalies which were not present in the original contractor grids. The data, as well as additional metadata, are available from the DGGS website: http://doi.org/10.14509/31694.
