Additional information
Nichol is a senior member of the SDSS supernovae team and is involved in all aspects of the survey research, including leading the spectroscopic follow-up (PI of 30-night ESO New Technology Telescope proposal). This paper presents the cosmological measurements from the first year of data. Nichol is in the top tier of authors, provided 23% of the SDSS supernova identifications and redshifts used (including all the required data analysis), and assisted in the writing of the interpretation of the cosmological constraints (Section 8) and estimation of the systematic errors (Section 9).
