PREM has been widely used as the basis for [[seismic tomography]] and related global [[geophysics|geophysical]] models. PREM incorporates anelastic dispersion and [[seismic anisotropy|anisotropy]] and therefore it is frequency-dependent and transversely isotropic for the [[Mantle (geology)|upper mantle]].
 
PREM comprisesincludes a table of Earth properties, including elastic properties, Q, [[density]], [[pressure]], and [[Gravity of Earth|gravity]], as a function of planetary radius.
 
PREM was developed by [[Adam Dziewonski|Adam M. Dziewonski]] and [[Don L. Anderson]].
