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.

学生国际研究经验计划培训12名学生在澳大利亚进行气候变化研究，与澳大利亚北领地的CSIRO热带生态系统研究中心合作。本科生和研究生在CSIRO科学家的指导下进行气候变化研究。CSUDH-CSIRO合作进行的调查使用北领地的生活实验室来测试火灾频率，火灾强度，气候变化和生物多样性之间关系的假设。调查正在评估管理制度如何影响碳固存率、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、提维群岛、阿纳姆地西部和达尔文地区，包括领地野生动物园。该项目在国际环境中提供长期沉浸式研究经验，旨在招募有才华的学生进入强调气候科学的研究生学习，并开始有兴趣和能力保持和发展国际合作。大多数学生将是科学代表性不足的群体的成员，反映了CSUDH的学生群体。
