Dr. Bryant Hudson
G. Bryant Hudson is a physicist in the Chemistry and Materials Science Directorate at LLNL. He completed a Ph.D. in physics at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri working on early solar system chronologies. In 1981 he joined LLNL as a postdoctoral fellow studying isotopic tracers of environmental processes and continued on as a full time LLNL scientist developing noble isotope tracer techniques for diagnostic measurements of nuclear explosions. With the end of nuclear testing, he extended these noble gas tracer techniques to tracking the movement of groundwater. His research interests are in isotope geochemistry, rare isotopes in the environment including helium and tritium, and noble gas mass spectrometry. His main hobbies are ceramics, photography and gardening.
