N2 - Geological and geodynamic models of the mantle often relyon joint interpretations of published seismic tomographyimages and petrological/geochemical data. This approachtends to neglect the fundamental limitations of, and uncertaintiesin, seismic tomography results. These limitations anduncertainties involve theory, correcting for the crust, the lackof rays throughout much of the mantle, the difficulty inobtaining the true strength of anomalies, choice of whatbackground model to subtract to reveal anomalies, and whatcross-sections to select for publication. The aim of this reviewis to provide a relatively non-technical summary of the mostimportant of these problems, collected together in a singlepaper, and presented in a form accessible to non-seismologists.Appreciation of these issues is essential if final geodynamicmodels are to be robust, and required by the scientificobservations.
