Chao Song

Chao Song is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics, focusing on seismic phenomena and earthquake mechanics. His research bridges geophysics and tectonic processes, with a specialization in slow earthquakes and their distinction from regular seismic events.

Education:

• Ph.D., Geosciences, Princeton University
• M.Sc., Solid Geophysics, Peking University
• B.Sc., Solid Geophysics, Wuhan University

Research Interests: Chao Song investigates the physical mechanisms of tremor and low-frequency earthquakes, earthquake source mechanisms, and rupture processes using back-projection methods. His work aims to reconcile energy budgets between slow and fast earthquakes.
