After completing his doctorate\ , he joined the faculty of the Atmospheric Sciences department of the Univ ersity of California at Los Angeles where he remained for three years\, wi th a brief hiatus filming tornadoes in Oklahoma and Texas.\n\nIn 1981 he j oined the faculty of the Department of Meteorology at MIT and was promoted to Full Professor in 1987 in what had since becomes the Department of Ear th\, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences (EAPS). In 1989 he assumed directo rship of EAPS Center for Meteorology and Physical Oceanography\, a post he held until 1997. Subsequently he chaired the EAPS Program in Atmospheres\ , Oceans\, and Climate from 2009 to 2012. He is co-founder of the MIT Lore nz Center\, a climate think tank which fosters creative approaches to lear ning how climate works.\n\nProfessor Emanuel is the author or co-author of over 200 peer-reviewed scientific papers\, and three books\, including Di vine Wind: The History and Science of Hurricanes\, published by Oxford Uni versity Press\, and What We Know about Climate Change\, published by the M IT Press.
