In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary scientific interests are in Ophiolite, Geochemistry, Magma chamber, Mid-ocean ridge and Gabbro.
Adolphe Nicolas has included themes like Dike, Lithosphere and Earth science in his Ophiolite study.
His Lithosphere research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Shear, Shear band, Shear zone and Mantle.
His Geochemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Chromitite, Hydrothermal circulation and Oceanic crust.
Adolphe Nicolas works mostly in the field of Magma chamber, limiting it down to topics relating to Petrology and, in certain cases, Massif, Geochronology, Semail Ophiolite, Geologic history and Mineral resource classification.
His Mid-ocean ridge research incorporates themes from Asthenosphere, Seafloor spreading, Ridge and Crust.
Between 2000 and 2020, his most popular works were:

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Basalt
- Plate tectonics
- Igneous rock
Adolphe Nicolas mostly deals with Ophiolite, Geochemistry, Magma chamber, Mid-ocean ridge and Earth science.
His research in Geochemistry intersects with topics in Oceanic crust and Accretionary wedge.
The various areas that he examines in his Magma chamber study include Dike, Hydrothermal circulation and Basalt, Gabbro.
His study in Gabbro is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Plagioclase and Anorthosite.
His research integrates issues of Obduction, Plate tectonics, Asthenosphere, Seafloor spreading and Pluton in his study of Mid-ocean ridge.
The Earth science study combines topics in areas such as Seawater and Lithosphere.
