International Association of Seismology and Physics of the Earth's Interior (IASPEI) website, December 26, 2019: (Alberto Giesecke Matto; born in Cusco on February 28, 1918; died August 20, 2016 at the age of 98; Peruvian geophysicist and one of the most outstanding specialists in seismology and disaster mitigation in South America; first director and president of the Instituto Geofísico del Perú (1947-1982); director of the Centro Regional de Sismología para América del Sur (CERESIS) (1968-2005); president of the Seismic Risk Advisory Committee of UNESCO and UNDRO; member of the Ad Hoc Group and the Scientific Committee of the International Decade of the United Nations for Natural Disaster Reduction (IDNDR); vice-president of the Pan American Institute of Geography and History (PAIGH) and president of its Geophysical Commission and editor on the PAIGH Geophysical Journal; he had an American father and a mother from Cusco so he was trilingual by learning Quechua and Spanish in his early years, and then English in elementary school; his father, Dr. Albert Giesecke, then Rector of San Antonio Abad del Cusco National University and Director General of Education of Peru, considered important that Alberto Jr. pursued high school and university studies in the United States, so he attended elementary school and high school in the small rural town of Enon Valley, Philadelphia; studied electrical engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI); returned to Peru at the age of 19; electrical engineer at Westinghouse Co., which took him to know the mines throughout Peru; two years later he joined the Scientific Expedition to Hispano-America financed by the Swedish Axel Wenner Gren to study the native tribes in the region of Madre de Dios and the Amazon, and to explore roads and villages around Macchu Picchu; his first contact with a natural disaster was during his work for the construction of a hydroelectric plant in the Pato Canyon in the Callejón de Huaylas, together with the Canadian geologist Dr. Luke Lowther on December 13, 1941 when a glacier detached from the Cordillera Blanca overflooding Acosha and Cojup lagoons; began his work a a geophysicist on the Magnetic Observatory in Huancayo, built by the Department of Terrestrial Magnetism of Carnegie Institution, Washington; studied the origin and nature of the Earth's magnetic field; arrived at Huancayo on January 1942, when he stopped being an electrical engineer and considered himself a geophysicist, starting his career in "geomagnetism" with the Carnegie Institution which lasted six years until the observatory was transferred to the government of Peru in January 1948; in 1966 he contributed to the creation of the Centro Regional de Sismología para América del Sur (CERESIS), which he directed for almost 40 years (1968-2005); fostered the development of seismology in countries like Brazil as well as the development of an international cooperation spirit between scientists and engineers from all countries; improved conditions for American and European seismology groups to carry out important research projects in the Andean region; working to mitigate the effects of earthquakes in the region, Giesecke created consciousness of the vulnerability in front of natural disasters and the need to reduce their effects; created the phrase "we must live in pacific coexistence with earthquakes) http://www.iaspei.org/about/bios-obituaries/alberto-giesecke-matto-1918-2016
