Biography

Dr. Trung Tran is an Assistant Professor in Geography in the Department of Intelligence Studies, Geospatial Science, Political Science and History at Fayetteville State University. His formal training is in Geography, Remote Sensing, and GIS. He is interested in applying geospatial technologies including remote sensing, GIS, and GPS to investigating patterns and processes of land cover/use changes as well as their relationship with environmental changes. His past projects have been identifying deforestations and their linkage with socio-economic factors across southern United States. Future research will focus on land cover/use changes and their impact on environmental sustainability and human health. In his spare time, Trung plays badminton and swims. He also prefers travelling to not only enjoy the beauty of the nature but also learn how natural landscape has been altered by human.
