2026.02.05
Dr. Nicole Khan, the 2025 medal winner, is an Assistant Professor at the University of Hong Kong. Her research uses sedimentary, microfossil, and geochemical indicators to understand past and present sea-level changes and their impacts on coastal ecosystems. Her work addresses critical methodological challenges in sea-level research, developing alternative proxies using stable isotopes and environmental DNA when traditional indicators are poorly preserved. Khan founded and leads the HOLSEA project — a global collaborative initiative to create a standardized post-glacial sea-level database. This interdisciplinary work challenges long-standing paradigms about Holocene sea-level evolution and informs future projections for coastal adaptation planning worldwide.
