Ferdinand Seidl
Ferdinand Seidl was a Slovenian naturalist and geologist.
Seidl is considered the founder of Slovenian geology and geological terminology.
His wide ranging interests encompassed geology, seismology, meteorology and botany but the 1895 [Ljubljana earthquake] led to a focus on seismology. He was the author of the first Slovenian popular book on geology.
He died in his native Novo Mesto, where a street bears his name.
