       | Satellite imagery and GPS observations yielded two key insights:

       | 1) fractures occurred in two stages: the initial propagation of
       | long fractures parallel to ice flow, followed by smaller
       | fractures perpendicular to ice flow.
       | 
       | 2) the shear-zone disintegration causes upstream ice-flow speed
       | to increase on the Thwaites Eastern Ice Shelf.
