Emil Wiechert (1861–1928) was a German geophysicist and seismologist best known for his contributions to the understanding of the Earth's internal structure. He is particularly recognized for developing the Wiechert Earth model, which was influential in the study of seismic waves and the Earth's layers. Wiechert's work helped lay the foundation for modern seismology and our understanding of earthquakes and the behavior of seismic waves as they travel through the Earth's interior.
