The analysis of seismic velocities at depth within the Earth has a long history and attracts an increasingly broad spectrum of researchers. Almost as soon as seismic travel times were available, Williamson & Adams (1923) used them to obtain velocity profiles and check their consistency with the densities that would result from self-compression of a uniform material. Birch (1939) addressed the same question of homogeneity and composition by incorporating the effect of pressure in his extrapolation of the shallow Earth's density and wave speeds to mantle depths. This traditional use of seismological data to investigate mantle properties and phenomena continues since seismic waves (in a broad sense that includes normal modes as well) constitute our primary probe of Earth structure. For example, core-diffracted P and S waves (Wysession & Oka} 1988, 1989) carry
