This paper is devoted to an inverse Steklov problem for a particular class of $ n $-dimensional manifolds having the topology of a hollow sphere and equipped with a warped product metric. We prove that the knowledge of the Steklov spectrum determines uniquely the associated warping function up to a natural invariance.

Keywords: Inverse Calderón problem, Steklov spectrum, Weyl-Titchmarsh functions, Nevanlinna theorem, local Borg-Marchenko theorem.
