What is she best known for?
The fields of study she is best known for:
- Subduction
- Plate tectonics
- Viscosity
Her primary areas of investigation include Subduction, Slab, Mantle, Geophysics and Mantle convection.
To a larger extent, Francesca Funiciello studies Seismology with the aim of understanding Subduction.
Her Slab study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Mantle flow.
Francesca Funiciello focuses mostly in the field of Mantle convection, narrowing it down to topics relating to Plate tectonics and, in certain cases, Bending of plates, Seismic anisotropy and Asthenosphere.
Her Mantle wedge course of study focuses on Viscosity and Transition zone.
Her Slab window study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Volcanic arc, Magmatism and Hotspot.
Her most cited work include:
- Mantle dynamics in the Mediterranean (243 citations)
- Dynamics of retreating slabs : 2. Insights from three-dimensional laboratory experiments (205 citations)
- Mapping mantle flow during retreating subduction: Laboratory models analyzed by feature tracking (180 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Her primary areas of study are Subduction, Seismology, Slab, Mantle and Geophysics.
Her Subduction research incorporates elements of Lithosphere and Petrology.
