Most assessments of ice sheet
contribution to sea level rise indicate an acceleration over the past decade, whereas altimeter - measured SLR has not been faster over the most recent decade (2003 - 2012) compared to the previous one (1993 - 2002).
@ 1 Paul S. Most assessments of ice sheet
contribution to sea level rise indicate an acceleration over the past decade, whereas altimeter - measured SLR has not been faster over the most recent decade There was a paper published within the last couple of years by some of this sites contributors that suggested part of the disparity may be due to an increase in land based water.

Note that the» < 0.5 mm / yr» statement is not definitive: they
indicate a possibility of larger TWS
contributions, but if that is the case there would likely have
to be other factors offsetting or we'd be inferring more
sea level rise than appears
to have actually happened.
Studies have
indicated an increasing
contribution of the two largest ice sheets, the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets,
to sea level rise.
The greater spread between RCPs
indicated a greater role for emissions in ice sheet
contribution to sea level rise (Kopp et al. 2017).
