• Thermal evolution of the core with a high thermal conductivity (2014, unknown): “A density profile in the core can be determined from inversion of normal mode data (eg Masters and Gubbins, 2003) and PREM (Dziewonski and Anderson, 1981) provides such a profile as a polynomial fit.”
• The influence of potassium on core and geodynamo evolution (2003, background): “However, more recent normal-mode studies resulted in a higher density contrast of 820 ± 180 kg m−3 (Masters & Gubbins 2003).”
• Energetics of the Core (2015, result): “A normal mode study (Masters and Gubbins 2003) gives a total density contrast at the ICB of 640-1000 kg m−3, which agrees rather well with the result of 600-900 kg m−3 obtained”
• Gross thermodynamics of two-component core convection (2004, methodology): “The calculations are a simple application of eqs (42) and (45); the results are summarized in Table 5 for three values of the density jump: 0.59 (PREM), 0.82 (Masters & Gubbins 2003) and 1.00 (one standard deviation above the preferred value of Masters & Gubbins 2003).”
