| Abstract: | The Panama Canal ranks high among the world's greatest feats of civil engineering. The sheer scales of its ground excavations, its concrete structures and its economic significance are truly spectacular. It is also remarkable for the geology of the massive landslides that developed within its Culebra Cut. |
