HAO, SHANGQIN

Student SIO - PhD

I am Shangqin Hao, a PhD candidate at the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego. My research focuses on resolving fine-scale structures in the Earth's interior, primarily through the analysis of teleseismic body waves. By integrating seismic observations with insights from mineral physics and geodynamic modeling, I aim to advance our understanding of the Earth's temperature distribution, compositional variations, and evolutionary processes. 
I am also interested in resolving detailed shallow structures using dense seismic arrays and innovative methodologies, with the goal of addressing critical environmental and societal challenges.
