| Abstract | Oceanographer Evan B. Forde was born on May 11, 1952, in Miami, Florida and received his early education in the Miami public school system. Forde earned his B.A. degree in geology with an oceanography specialty and his M.A. degree in marine geology and geophysics from Columbia University. In 1973, Forde became an oceanographer at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory in Miami, Florida. Forde was the first African American scientist to participate in research dives aboard a submersible. He has remained one of only a handful of black oceanographers in the United States, and has also worked extensively in the area of science education. Forde received a host of career and civic awards that include a United States Congressional Commendation, and NOAA Research Employee of the Year. Forde has had days named in his honor in both the City of North Miami and in Miami-Dade County, Florida. |
