Mapping Subsurface in Proximity to Newly-Developed Sinkhole Along Roadway

Missouri University of Science and Technology (MS&T) will acquire electrical resistivity tomography profiles in immediate proximity to a newly-developed sinkhole in Nixa Missouri. The sinkhole has closed a well-traveled municipal roadway and threatens proximal infrastructure. The intent of this investigation is to characterize the subsurface expression of the sinkhole so that appropriate mitigation efforts can be designed and implemented.
