TEACHING ASSISTANT
Nicholas uses geophysical and geological data and numerical modeling to explore the behavior of extensional systems and their effect on carbon dioxide fluxes between the geosphere and the exosphere (oceans and atmosphere). His research interests include continental rifting, seafloor spreading, the continent-ocean transition, climate-tectonic coupling, and the deep carbon cycle.
INTERESTS
Geophysics of extensional systems, structural geology, carbon geochemistry, global climate
