Evan B. Forde is an American oceanographer. The United States of America —commonly referred to as the Oceanography (from the greek words Ωκεανός meaning Ocean and γράφω meaning to write also called oceanology or
Forde was born in Miami, Florida and received his primary education in the local public school system. The term public school has two distinct (and virtually opposite meanings depending on the location of usage in the United States, Australia and He received his bachelor's degree in Geology and his Master's degree in marine geology and geophysics, both from Columbia University in New York. A bachelor's degree is usually an Undergraduate Academic degree awarded for a course or major that generally lasts for three four or in some cases and Geology (from Greek γη gê, "earth" and λόγος Logos, "speech" lit An ocean (from Greek, ''Okeanos'' (Oceanus) is a major body of saline water, and a principal component of the Hydrosphere. Geology (from Greek γη gê, "earth" and λόγος Logos, "speech" lit Geophysics, a major discipline of Earth sciences, is the study of the Earth by quantitative physical methods especially by seismic, electromagnetic Columbia University is a private University in the United States and a member of the Ivy League. New York ( is a state in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern regions of the United States and is the nation's third most populous Forde became a researcher in the Marine Geology and Geophysics laboratory at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) while an undergraduate at Columbia during the summer of 1973. A laboratory (informally lab) is a facility that provides controlled conditions in which scientific Research, Experiments and The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ( NOAA) is a scientific agency within the United States Department of Commerce focused on the conditions of the The Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML is a laboratory in National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research In some Educational systems undergraduate education is Post-secondary education up to the level of a Bachelor's degree. Year 1973 ( MCMLXXIII) was a Common year starting on Monday (link will display full calendar of the 1973 Gregorian calendar.
Utilizing his background in classical Marine Geology techniques, Forde became a recognized authority on the formation, evolution and sedimentary processes of east coast U. S. submarine canyons. Among Forde's career highlights are successful submersible dive expeditions in several submarine canyons utilizing ALVIN, the JOHNSON SEA LINK and NEKTON GAMMA. Alvin ( DSV-2) is a 16-ton manned deep-ocean research Submersible owned by the United States Navy and operated by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Additional scientific research efforts have included studies of gravity-induced mass sediment movements on continental slopes, 3-dimensional mapping of hydrothermal plumes, and the study of ocean-atmosphere exchange of anthropogenic carbon dioxide. A hydrothermal vent is a Fissure in a planet's surface from which geothermally heated Water issues Carbon dioxide ( Chemical formula:) is a Chemical compound composed of two Oxygen Atoms covalently bonded to a single
In 1998, Forde became a researcher in NOAA/AOML's Satellite Remote Sensing group. Year 1998 ( MCMXCVIII) was a Common year starting on Thursday (link will display full 1998 Gregorian calendar) The mission of this group is to use satellite radiometry and scatterometry data to verify and improve the quality of oceanographic and meteorological data in open ocean areas. In Optics, radiometry is the field that studies the Measurement of Electromagnetic radiation, including Visible light. Meteorology (from Greek grc μετέωρος metéōros, "high in the sky" and grc -λογία -logia) is the Interdisciplinary This work has many potentially far reaching applications most notably in the early detection of forming hurricanes as well as improving hurricane intensity and track predictions models. A tropical cyclone is a storm system characterized by a low pressure center and numerous Thunderstorms that produce strong winds and Flooding
Forde has also worked in the area of science education. He developed and teaches graduate level courses on Tropical Meteorology targeted towards K-12 teachers, authored science experiments in a children’s magazine for three years, created a Severe Weather Poster for NOAA that was distributed nationally to 50,000 teachers by the National Science Teachers Association. The National Science Teachers Association (NSTA founded in 1944 and headquartered in Arlington Virginia, is an association of Science Teachers Forde has spoken to greater than 25,000 school children through presentations about his oceanographic and academic careers. He has been the subject of two museum exhibits, including a current display in the Great Explorations section of the Staten Island Children's Museum and he has been featured in a number of periodical articles, numerous text books as well as many other books and publications on prominent African American scientists.
