By age 23, he had already earned a bachelor's degree in geology and a masters degree in marine geology from Columbia University. Forde became a researcher in marine geology at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA in the summer of while still an undergraduate, and has worked for NOAA in a variety of capacities ever since.
His area of expertise is submarine canyons, and he has researched their formation and evolution as well as the causes of underwater landslides and avalanches. In , he became the first African American oceanographer to participate in dives aboard research submersibles vessels that operate underwater. In addition to his research, he is a strong advocate of science education for students. Between and , he wrote the? Science Corner? Eventually, the octopus ate the crab, but not without a fight.
Although the crab was eaten, it cut off two of the octopus' tentacles before it was eaten by the octopus. Evan was hooked! Evan strove to work harder and continued to excel , a little voice of doubt continued to linger in his head telling him that he was not smart enough or capable of doing well academically or athletically , because of his past performances in school.
Yet, Evan refused to listen and continued to succeed. During high school and college, Evan was both a musician and athlete. He played the trumpet and was the lead singer in a local band as a graduate student at Columbia University.
He played football and was a very fast sprinter. In fact, so good that he received many scholarship. Colleges and universities were willing to give him money to attend because he was a good athlete. However, Evan decided to take an academic scholarship rather than an athletic scholarship because he knew that oftentimes, athletes got hurt and could no longer play sports.
They would have to leave school because they did not have the academic skills to continue and lost their athletic scholarships. He decided he was going to college to become a scientist or pro football player. He tried out and made the football team at Columbia University.
Evan wanted to be a good student and a good athlete, so he studied harder and practiced his athletic skills longer than most of the other guys on the team. He worked harder on his reading, writing, memorizing his multiplication tables, and formulae as well as running, jumping, catching, and lifting weights.
He really wanted to be a good athlete and a good student. This work has many potentially far reaching applications most notably in the early detection of forming hurricane s as well as improving hurricane intensity and track predictions models. Forde has also worked in the area of science education. Forde has spoken to greater than 25, 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.
