What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Subduction
- Plate tectonics
- Tectonics
His primary scientific interests are in Subduction, Seismology, Slab, Mantle and Mantle convection.
His studies in Subduction integrate themes in fields like Lithosphere, Plate tectonics and Crust.
His work in Seismology is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Paleontology.
His Slab study combines topics in areas such as Metamorphic rock, Geometry, Viscosity, Mechanics and North Anatolian Fault.
His study in Mantle is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Denudation, Volcanism, Ocean surface topography and Mantle flow.
His research integrates issues of Mediterranean climate, Mantle wedge and Transition zone in his study of Mantle convection.
His most cited work include:
- Mediterranean extension and the Africa‐Eurasia collision (714 citations)
- Lateral slab deformation and the origin of the western Mediterranean arcs (687 citations)
- History of subduction and back‐arc extension in the Central Mediterranean (465 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Claudio Faccenna mostly deals with Subduction, Seismology, Mantle, Slab and Tectonics.
His Subduction research includes themes of Petrology, Lithosphere, Geophysics and Plate tectonics.
His Neogene research extends to Seismology, which is thematically connected.
Claudio Faccenna interconnects Ocean surface topography, Mantle convection and Mantle flow in the investigation of issues within Mantle.
His research in Slab intersects with topics in Seismic tomography, Eclogitization, Volcanism and Slab suction.
In his study, Blueschist is inextricably linked to Metamorphic rock, which falls within the broad field of Tectonics.

- Tectonics
Claudio Faccenna spends much of his time researching Paleontology, Mantle, Subduction, Tectonics and Lithosphere.
Claudio Faccenna focuses mostly in the field of Paleontology, narrowing it down to topics relating to Atlas and, in certain cases, Strain partitioning and Transpression.
The concepts of his Mantle study are interwoven with issues in Paleomagnetism, Mantle convection, Sedimentary rock, Paleogene and Neogene.
His Subduction study introduces a deeper knowledge of Seismology.
Many of his research projects under Tectonics are closely connected to Outlier with Outlier, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.
His Lithosphere research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Petrology, Passive margin, Geophysics and Rift zone.
