Nicolas is a PhD student at Columbia Unversity in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences and the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory.

They are also a Graduate Student Fellow at the American Natural History Museum in the Division of Vertebrate Paleontology and the Richard Gilder Graduate School.

They study paleobiology, macroevolution, ecomorphology, and the effects of long-term climate change on the evolution of body shape and size in camels, horses, antelopes, and other herbivorous terrestrial ungulates of the present and (relatively) recent past.

They’re also interested in how we can use the fossil record to reconstruct past climate.
