Evan B. Forde is still living and continuing to contribute to the 
            
 wonderful world of science. He received a bachelor's degree in Geology 
            
 from Columbia University, in New York City. He than attained a masters 
            
 degree in Marine Geology and Geophysics from Columbia University. 
            
 During the summer of 1973, Forde worked in the Marine Geology and 
            
 Geophysics laboratory at the National Oceanic and Atmosphere 
            
 Administrations (NOAA), Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological 
            
 Laboratory (AOML) as a researcher. Not to long ago Forde became a 
            
 researcher at NOAA/AOML's new Microwave Remote Sensing Group. He 
            
 authored "Science Corner" experiments for a children's magazine 
            
 (1980-1983). To top it off he's been named AOML's outreach coordinator 
            
 and chairman of NOAA's Oceanic and Atmospheric Research Educational 
            
 		His discipline included Marine Geology and Oceanography. By 
            
 contributing to science Forde participated in successful submersible dives in 
            
 several submarine canyons in ALVIN, the JOHNSON SEA LINK, and 
            
 NEKTON GAMMA. He did significant research on the study of 
            
 gravity-causing mass sediment movements on continental slopes, 
            
 3-dimensional mapping of hydrothermal plumes, and the exchange of 
            
 anthropogenic carbon dioxide between the ocean and the atmosphere. Forde 
            
 discovered massive sediment slumping that led to the Department of Interior 
            
 removing drilling rights from oil companies offshore of Cape May, NJ. His 
            
 current work is directed toward improving hurricane intensity and track 
            
 		Forde's accomplishments begin with finalist for the Federal 
            
 Employee of the Year (1985). ERL EEO Employee of the Year (1986). 
            
 Principle Investigator of AOML's Pacific Polymetallic Sulfides Research 
            
 Project (1982). Manuscript on East Coast Submarine Canyons a finalist for
