Hwanseok Song studies how people perceive and communicate about environmental issues, risk, and trust, including topics like climate change, wildlife conservation, and new technologies such as geothermal energy. This research examines how factors like source credibility, fairness, group identity, and question wording shape public risk perception, trust in authorities, and willingness to engage in environmental or civic participation. Much of the work combines social psychology and communication theory to understand public responses to environmental science and policy.
Publication output has been variable but generally active over the last decade, with a dip around 2021-2022 followed by a resurgence in 2024-2026.
