Ferdinand Seidl (March 10, 1856 – December 1, 1942) was a Slovenian naturalist and geologist.
Seidl is considered the founder of Slovenian geology and geological terminology.[1][2][3]
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.[4]
He died in his native Novo Mesto, where a street bears his name (Seidlova ulica).
