Jerad Bales is the Director of the U.S. Geological Survey North Carolina Water Science Center in Raleigh, NC. Jerad has been principal investigator or CO-PI on numerous studies which have been funded by USGS, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, NOAA, and numerous state and local agencies. He is experienced in the use of a wide variety of hydrologic, hydraulic, and surface-water-quality models. He has served as a member of numerous interagency model review panels, including reviews of Florida Bay hydrodynamic modeling, Charleston Harbor transport modeling, Salton Sea thermal modeling and Onondaga Lake water-quality modeling. In addition to his work in North Carolina, Jerad has participated in and provided consultation on water-resources investigations in more than 20 states, as well in India. He was responsible for the rivers component of the interagency National Monitoring Network, and was a member of the USGS National Streamflow Information Program design team. Jerad has authored more than 120 articles and technical reports, and has received numerous awards for his government service with USGS, including the U.S. Department of the Interior Superior Service Award in 1992.
