Agricultural modeling
Agricultural modeling is a specialty in which few other consulting companies have expertise. SRI has employed several techniques in agricultural modeling, including soil maps to model agricultural productivity for different types of ancient agricultural systems, soil studies to measure anthropogenic effects on soil quality and agricultural sustainability, and geomorphic studies of alluvial valleys to model the evolution and productivity of ancient agricultural systems. We have also used geoarchaeological methods in excavating canals and other agricultural features to obtain information on their age and function.
