Position title: Chemist

Email: jbernardy@usgs.gov
Phone: 608.781.6273
Fax: 608.783.6066

Education:
1990 Masters of Science, Water Chemistry, University of Wisconsin, Madison
1980 B.S., Biology, University of Minnesota, Morris

Primary Responsibilities/Activities:
The majority of my research involves developing and validating new analytical methods for fisheries management chemicals and drugs.  The methods are used to conduct further research, provide data to the Center for Veterinary Medicine (FDA) or the Environmental Protection Agency, or used by fisheries and aquatic resource managers when conducting field treatments to control diseases or invasive species.  Non research responsibilities include overseeing UMESC’s well water (Safe Drinking Water Act) and wastewater (NPDES permit).

Research Interests:

• Aquatic invasive species control
• Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products in aquatic environments
• Fisheries management chemicals
• Fisheries therapeutants

Active Projects:

• Development and validation of a LC-MS analytical method for antimycin-A in water (Fisheries Management Chemicals and Drugs).
• Biological effects of pharmaceuticals and personal care products found in the St. Croix River (Pharmaceutical and Personal Care Products).
• Development of oxytetracycline immersion thearapy data packages for cool and warm water fish (Fisheries Management Chemicals and Drugs).
