Huapeng Zhang is a Ph.D student on Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing in the School of Environment Science and Spatial Informatics, China University of Mining and Technology (CUMT). As a visiting student in Indiana State University, Zhang plans to continue the investigation into the relationship between urban heat island and land use/change cover in the Depart of Department of Geography, Geology, and Anthropology. Zhang got his bachelor degree majoring in Surveying and Mapping Engineering in the CUMT on July 1, 2004. From Sep 2000 to Sep 2008, during eight-year study in CUMT, he has studied the principle, method and application of remote sensing, learned some courses such as New Development of Surveying and Mapping, Mathematical Foundation of Digital Image Processing, Image Recognition Technology, Artificial Intelligence, Principle and Application of Database and so on. Owing to researching in some projects, he gained a solid research experience on land use/cover change in urbanization progress and environmental impacts of urban heat island and published the papers such as Pattern Change and Dynamic Evolution of Urban Green Space Based on Multi-temporal Remote Sensing Images

Cyril obtained his BA in Geography and Economics from Fourah Bay College (University of Sierra Leone) and an MSc. in Development Studies from Njala University (Sierra Leone). He then completed an MA in Environmental and Urban Geography from the University of Illinois at Chicago. His research interest is in the implications of urbanization on urban land use and land cover change. He will be making extensive uses of remote sensing and GIS in modeling urban change.
