项目摘要

The International Research Experiences for Students program trains twelve students to conduct research on climate change in Australia, in collaboration with the CSIRO Tropical Ecosystems Research Centre in the Northern Territory of Australia. Undergraduate and graduate students are conducting climate change research under the mentorship of CSIRO scientists.The investigations conducted by the CSUDH-CSIRO collaboration use the living laboratory of the Northern Territory to test hypotheses on the relationships among fire frequency, fire intensity, climate change, and biodiversity. Investigations are evaluating how management regimes affect rates of carbon sequestration, changes in biodiversity and ecosystem services. Projects may be conducted at multiple sites throughout the Northern Territory, including the Kimberley, Tiwi Islands, western Arnhem land, and in the Darwin region, including the Territory Wildlife Park.This project provides long-term immersive research experiences in an international setting that are designed to recruited talented students into graduate study emphasizing climate science, and commence the interest and ability to maintain and develop international collaborations. Most students will be members of groups underrepresented in the sciences, reflecting the student population at CSUDH.

学生计划的国际研究经验培训了十二名学生，与澳大利亚北领地的CSIRO热带生态系统研究中心合作进行澳大利亚气候变化的研究。本科生和研究生正在根据CSIRO科学家的指导进行气候变化研究。CSUDH-CSIRO合作进行的调查使用北领地的生活实验室对火灾，火灾强度，气候变化和生物多样性的关系进行测试。调查正在评估管理制度如何影响碳固存，生物多样性和生态系统服务的变化。项目可以在整个北领地的多个地点进行，包括金伯利，蒂维群岛，西部阿恩希姆陆地和达尔文地区，包括领土野生动物公园。该项目在国际环境中提供了长期的沉浸式研究经验，这些研究经验旨在招募有才华的学生，以招募研究生研究，以招募研究生兴趣，并促进了氛围科学的兴趣，并保持了国际兴趣，并能够保持国际兴趣，并能够保持国际能力，并能够保持国际能力。大多数学生将是科学中人数不足的团体的成员，反映出CSUDH的学生人数。
