             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
