I work for Esri on open source tools for ocean science. I'm affiliated with the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis, and recently graduated from at nearby UCSB, where I studied the global shipping trade in an ecological context (thesis).

Source snippets I post on GIS.SE are dedicated to the public domain.

May 15	comment	Nearest neighbor between a point layer and a line layer @mlt not sure exactly what you're thinking of, but there are some approaches that can help depending on the geometry. Could do some basic ray-casting to determine relevant nearest segments, if performance was an issue. In that vein, moving this into C or Pyrex would improve things.
