We demonstrate that one could measure the absolute matter density
of the Earth's core with a vertical neutrino factory baseline at the per cent
level for $\sin^2 2 \theta_{13} \gtrsim 0.01$, where we include all
correlations with the oscillation parameters in the analysis. We discuss the
geographical feasibility of such an approach, and illustrate how the results
change as a function of the detector location. We point out the
complementarity to geophysics.
