 sor of Atmospheric Science\, Co-Director of the Lorenz Center\n<strong>Dat
 e:</strong> Wednesday\, September 20\, 4:00pm to 5:00pm\n<strong>Location:
 </strong> MIT Campus\, 54-100\n\n<strong>Special Lecture: <a href='https:/
 /eapsweb.mit.edu/what-do-hurricanes-harvey-and-irma-portend' target='_blan
 k'>'What Do Hurricanes Harvey and Irma Portend?'</a></strong>\n\nNatural d
 isasters are the result of the interaction of a natural phenomenon with hu
 man beings and their built environments. Globally and in the U.S.\, large 
 increases in coastal populations are causing corresponding increases in hu
 rricane damage and these are now being compounded by rising sea levels and
  changing storm characteristics owing to anthropogenic climate change. In 
 this talk\, I will describe projections of changing hurricane activity ove
 r the rest of this century and what such projections tell us about how the
  probabilities of hurricanes like Harvey and Irma have already changed and
  are likely to continue to do so.\n\n<strong>About the Speaker</strong>\n
 \n<a href='https://eapsweb.mit.edu/people/kokey'>Kerry Emanuel</a> is a pr
 ominent meteorologist and climate scientist who specializes in moist conve
 ction in the atmosphere\, and tropical cyclones. His research interests fo
 cus on tropical meteorology and climate\, with a specialty in hurricane ph
 ysics. His interests also include cumulus convection\, the role of clouds\
 , water vapor\, and upper-ocean mixing in regulation of climate\, and adva
 nced methods of sampling the atmosphere in aid of numerical weather predic
 tion.\n\nEmanuel received an S.B. degree in Earth and Planetary Sciences a
 nd a Ph.D. in Meteorology (1978) both from MIT. After completing his docto
 rate\, he joined the faculty of the Atmospheric Sciences department of the
  University of California at Los Angeles where he remained for three years
 \, with a brief hiatus filming tornadoes in Oklahoma and Texas.\n\nIn 1981
  he joined the faculty of the Department of Meteorology at MIT and was pro
 moted to Full Professor in 1987 in what had since becomes the Department o
 f Earth\, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences (EAPS). In 1989 he assumed di
 rectorship of EAPS Center for Meteorology and Physical Oceanography\, a po
 st he held until 1997. Subsequently he chaired the EAPS Program in Atmosph
 eres\, Oceans\, and Climate from 2009 to 2012. He is co-founder of the MIT
  Lorenz Center\, a climate think tank which fosters creative approaches to
  learning how climate works.\n\nProfessor Emanuel is the author or co-auth
 or of over 200 peer-reviewed scientific papers\, and three books\, includi
 ng Divine Wind: The History and Science of Hurricanes\, published by Oxfor
 d University Press\, and What We Know about Climate Change\, published by 
 the MIT Press.
