- Abstract
- During the preparation of this review paper (Dehant et al. 2022), text versions related toseismological views of the Earth’s core-mantle boundary (CMB) region unfortunatelybecame mixed up. As a result, an overview of information to be discussed in the paper wasinadvertently used as final written material, with only minimal changes and without refer-ence to the original work (Koelemeijer 2021). We are really sorry about this, in particularas the information was kindly provided to one of us (VD) before publication by the author,Paula Koelemeijer. We sincerely apologize to her and, with this correction, want to providethe proper credit to her work. There are a few sentences in our paper that are very similar tothose in Koelemeijer (2021). This is particularly the case for the discussion about the den-sity in the bottom of the mantle, identified as two areas of dense anomalies located belowSouthern Africa and the North Pacific, and the associated elevated topographies. The first,second and fourth bullet points in Sect. 4.2 on page 18 in our paper show strong overlapwith the bullet points on pages 21 and 22 in Sect. 9.4.5 of Koelemeijer (2021). If the readeruses the information provided in these parts, we kindly ask them to refer to Koelemeijer(2021) and not to our paper. This is a breakthrough result that should be referred to withthe full reference given below. Please consider that we have involuntarily overlooked ourmistake. We should have paraphrased the listed section or added quotation marks in thecase of a direct quotation, and in both cases the reference should have been added.
