Faccenna, C., Civetta, L., D'Antonio, M., Funiciello, F., Margheriti, L. and Piromallo, C. (2005). Constraints on mantle circulation around the deforming Calabrian slab. Geophysical Research Letters 32: doi: 10.1029/2004GL021874. issn: 0094-8276.

Combining tectonics, with seismological and geochemical data, we reconstruct the deformation history of the presently narrow Calabrian slab and the path of mantle circulation during the last 10 Ma. We show that during the slab deformation the mantle laterally flowed inside the back arc region permitting its retrograde motion and giving a seismological and volcanological record after 1--2 myr.
