Hi Steve, How interesting!
Did you guys use dome dyland survey methods, or did you use sonars?  I worked briefly on a project where we were staking out an underwater foundation for building a jetty, here in southern california. Pretty challenging keeping a precise location, while on a barge.

Right now I'm modelling some geologic surfaces, comparing them with the existing ground and designs... My norm is trying to model datasets containing 3-5 milion points at once.   I set up the dataset, let the computer crunch for an hour or two building a surface, and cross my fingers it doesn't crash, which it does about half the times.  The bigger the computers get, the more data we end up trying to jam in.

I have two cmputers at my desk in the office... both as fast as they get. Whil one is crunching, I'm doing work on the other.. (or checking out laest renderosity gallery images).

Latest challenges have been making sense out of lidar scans....

The way it works, if I make mistakes, the likelyhood is really high that things will get built in a wrong location.... and communicating the data unambiguously. I like cartography, I get my little artsy fartsy outlet that way too.  :)
