John Milne (1850–1913) was an influential British geologist and mining engineer whose scientific endeavors significantly contributed to the field of seismology. Active during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Milne is most notably recognized for his pioneering work on the horizontal seismograph, an instrument crucial for detecting and recording earthquakes.
Throughout his career as a geologist and engineer, Milne focused on understanding the earth's physical properties and seismic activity. His efforts in developing monitoring instruments helped lay the groundwork for modern observational seismology, establishing him as a key figure in the history of earth sciences.
