He held this position until his death in 1930.
His research focused on dynamic meteorology and the application of mechanics to geographic phenomena. Exner-Ewarten is considered a great theorist in the field of geophysics, geodynamics and meteorology.
In 1912 he wrote the article Dynamic Meteorology (with W. Trabert) in the Encyclopedia of Mathematical Sciences . He was buried at the Heiligenstädter Friedhof in Vienna.
