- The first and, so far, only portable ground-based radar experimentally demonstrated in the laboratory and in the field, that is able to measure the melt rate of the bottom of an Antarctic ice shelf with millimetre-precision. The paper led to a Royal Society University Research Fellowship award (UF140021, £470k) to Lok at UCL, which he transferred to Lancaster in 2018 and subsequently renewed in 2020 for three additional years. The radar is now a core instrument for the British Antarctic Survey, supporting a NERC-funded international project (NE/S006656/1).
