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. 410 0$aBrill research perspectives in Jesuit studies ;$vIssue 1.3. 606 $aReligion and science 610 $aMathematics & science 610 $aScience: general issues 615 0$aReligion and science. 676 $a271.53 700 $aUdi?as Vallina$b Agusti?n$0442259 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910558097103321 996 $aJesuits and the natural sciences in modern times, 1814-2014$92826579 997 $aUNINA
