Notes From Elsewhere
Georg Karl Cornelius Gerland (* 29. January 1833 in Kassel; † 16th February 1919 in Strasbourg) (pseudonym Fritz Walter) was a German geographer and geophysicist.
In 1875 he accepted an appointment at the University of Strasbourg, where he took over the newly created Department of Geography
At the invitation Gerlands took place in April 1901, the First International Conference on Seismology in Strasbourg, on which two years later founded the "International Seismological Society", today the International Association of Seismology and Physics of the Earth's Interior, and the construction of a main station for Earthquake Research in Strasbourg and the Meteorological Institute of Alsace-Lorraine were decided.
