Teh-Ru Alex Song

Dr. Teh-Ru Alex Song is a Reader in Seismology at the Department of Earth Sciences, University College London. He leads the Seismolab research group and teaches the course GEOL0029: Seismology I. His work focuses on observational seismology, including seismic anisotropy, volcano dynamics, and tectonic processes. Key research interests include magma chamber interactions, core-mantle boundary structure, and earthquake behavior near plate boundaries. His recent studies involve Aso Volcano seismic monitoring and post-seismic velocity changes in Sumatra subduction zones.

Research highlights include investigating magma dynamics through repetitive volcanic seismic signals and analyzing temporal variations in seismic anisotropy. His work bridges seismological observations with tectonic and volcanic processes across spatial and temporal scales. Collaborative efforts include global seismic array data analysis and volcano remote sensing techniques.

Dr. Song’s publications span over two decades, addressing topics like mantle discontinuities, induced earthquakes, and seismic waveform modeling. His contributions have advanced understanding of seismic wave propagation, subduction zone dynamics, and the interplay between magmatic and tectonic systems.
