Laurence E. Nyquist (born 1939) is an American planetary scientist for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. He is known for his contributions to knowledge of the chronometry of planetary materials, which have been important in understanding time-scales for accretion, differentiation, and impacts on meteorite parent bodies. His NASA biography also records contributions to the study of noble gases in iron meteorites and lunar samples, radiometric age dating and isotope geochemistry of lunar, Martian, and meteoric samples, and the application of stable isotope methods to biomedical research. He has served as an Associate Editor of Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta and Proceedings of the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference.
