| Zusammenfassung: | After their restoration of 1814, the Jesuits made significant contributions to the natural sciences, especially in the fields of astronomy, meteorology, seismology, terrestrial magnetism, mathematics, and biology. This narrative provides a history of the Jesuit institutions in which these discoveries were made, many of which were established in countries that previously had no scientific institutions whatsoever, thus generating a scientific and educational legacy that endures to this day. The article also focuses on the teaching and research that took place at Jesuit universities and secondary schools, as well as the order?s creation of a worldwide network of seventy-four astronomical and geophysical observatories where particularly important contributions were made to the fields of terrestrial magnetism, microseisms, tropical hurricanes, and botany.0 |

AFTER THEIR RESTORATION
OF
1814, THE JESUITS MADE SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE
NATURAL
SCIENCES, ESPECIALLY
IN
THE FIELDS
OF
ASTRONOMY,
METEOROLOGY,
SEISMOLOGY,
TERRESTRIAL
MAGNETISM, MATHEMATICS, AND
BIOLOGY.
THIS
NARRATIVE PROVIDES A
HISTORY
OF
THE JESUIT
INSTITUTIONS
IN
WHICH
THESE DISCOVERIES WERE MADE, MANY OF
WHICH
WERE ESTABLISHED IN COUNTRIES THAT PREVIOUSLY HAD NO SCIENTIFIC
INSTITUTIONS
WHATSOEVER, THUS GENERATING A SCIENTIFIC AND EDUCATIONAL
LEGACY
THAT ENDURES TO
THIS
DAY. THE
ESSAY
ALSO
FOCUSES
ON THE TEACHING AND RESEARCH THAT TOOK PLACE AT
JESUIT UNIVERSITIES AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS, AS
WELL
AS THE ORDER'S CREATION
OF
A
WORLDWIDE NETWORK
OF
SEVENTY-FOUR ASTRONOMICAL AND GEOPHYSICAL OBSERVATORIES
WHERE PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTIONS WERE MADE TO THE FIELDS
OF
TERRESTRIAL
MAGNETISM, MICROSEISMS, TROPICAL
HURRICANES,
AND BOTANY.
AGUSTIN UDIAS HOLDS A PHD IN
GEOPHYSICS
FROM SAINT LOUIS UNIVERSITY
(1964)
AND A
DOCTORATE IN PHYSICS FROM THE UNIVERSIDAD COMPLUTENSE DE MADRID
(1971),
WHERE
HE IS A
PROFESSOR
EMERITUS. AS
WELL
AS
WRITING
EXTENSIVELY ON THE HISTORY
OF
THE
JESUITS' INVOLVEMENT
IN
SCIENCE, UDIAS HAS ALSO PUBLISHED TEXTBOOKS ON
GEOPHYSICS
AND SEISMOLOGY, AND ARTICLES ON EARTHQUAKE SOURCE MECHANISM, SEISMICITY,
AND
SEISMOTECTONICS.
