According to Poinelli, a NASA JPL research affiliate who is now a project scientist at UCLA, this study showed that grounding zone processes are causing accelerated detachment of Thwaites Glacier from stabilizing ridges, leading to more rapid ice flow and deterioration. "The Thwaites main trunk is being temporarily stabilized by the Mouginot Ridge," he said. "Once that ridge is unpinned, the glacier will continually retreat across a predominantly retrograde seafloor toward its next topographic high, the South Ridge."
