Scientific paper

Global seismic imaging is reviewed. The systematic and rapid progression away from the spherically symmetric earth models developed during the first three quarters of this century is recalled, showing the progression toward three-dimensional maps of the earth's interior which now span regions from the bottom of the crust to the inner core of the earth. The surprising finding is addressed that the inner core appears to be anisotropic with the axis of symmetry aligned with the axis of rotation.
