John Milne (1850-1913) was a renowned British geologist and mining engineer who made significant contributions to the field of seismology. Known as the 'Father of Modern Seismology,' Milne's pioneering work on earthquake waves and the instruments used to detect them laid the foundation for modern earthquake science. After his education at the Royal School of Mines in London, Milne embarked on numerous geological expeditions, which included his tenure as a professor at the Imperial College of Engineering in Tokyo. It was in Japan where Milne's interest in earthquakes deepened, leading him to co-found the Seismological Society of Japan. His book, 'Earthquakes and Other Earth Movements' (1886), is a testament to his in-depth study of seismic activity. Within its pages, Milne elucidates the causes and effects of earthquakes and discusses the early development of seismographs. His literary style is marked by methodical explanation and the keen ability to make complex science accessible to readers. Milne's legacy is enshrined in the advances of earthquake monitoring and disaster preparedness, and he remains a revered figure in the study of the Earth's dynamic processes.
