The '''Preliminary reference Earth model''' (PREM) is a one-dimensional model representing the average [[Earth]] properties as a function of planetary radius.<ref>{{cite journal|last=Dziewonski|first=Adam M.|date=June 1981|title=Preliminary reference Earth model|journal=Physics of the Earth and Planetary Interiors|volume=25|issue=4|pages=297–356|url=https://www.cfa.harvard.edu/~lzeng/papers/PREM.pdf|doi=10.1016/0031-9201(81)90046-7|author2=Anderson, Don L.|bibcode=1981PEPI...25..297D}}</ref> It includes a table of Earth properties, including [[elasticity (physics)|elastic]] properties, [[Anelastic attenuation factor|attenuation]], [[density]], [[pressure]], and [[Gravity of Earth|gravity]], as a function of planetary radius.
PREM has been widely used as the basis for [[seismic tomography]] and related global [[geophysics|geophysical]] models

PREM was developed by [[Adam Dziewonski|Adam M. Dziewonski]] and [[Don L. Anderson]] in response to guidelines of a "Standard Earth Model Committee" of the [[International Association of Geodesy]] (IAG) and the International Association of Seismology and Physics of the Earth's Interior (IASPEI) Other Earth reference models include iasp91<ref>{{Cite book|title=IASPEI 1991 Seismological Tables|last=Kennett|first=B.L.N.|publisher=Bibliotech,|year=1991|isbn=|___location=Canberra, Australia,|pages=|via=}}</ref> and ak135.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Kennett|first=B.
