Summary:

This document describes the projects that have been handled around Hawaii by the company of Dames and Moore -- a company that bills itself as "consulting engineers in the applied earth sciences".

In addition, while the staff of this company includes civil engineers, it also includes specialists in diverse fields as meteorology, marine geology, systems engineering and ecology, As a result, the work that has been performed by this company has taken them from three miles up on Mauna Kea to three miles down on the ocean floor.
