• Springfield Missouri is located on a karst plateau, commonly known as the Springfield Plateau.
• The Springfield plateau consists of a stack of Mississippian aged limestones of several hundred feet in thickness.
• The Springfield area has experienced fairly rapid urbanization over the past 25 years, resulting in numerous problems associated with the interface between surface development and the underlying karst.

• America’s first National River, Buffalo National River was established to preserve a very scenic free-flowing stream in the southern Ozarks.
• A significant section of the Buffalo River has come under threat from animal wastes as a result of the construction of a large Confined Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO) along a major tributary.
• The CAFO is entirely on karst.• The field trip will discuss this issue as well as an
overview of the karst development in this area.
