there is also a distincion between the coastal ice sheets and the continental interior ice and snow cap. the apparent paradox is caused by misrepresentative interpretation of a report, by the author of the article.

isostatic rebound is a confound to the measurement of snow/ice accumulation when change of altitude is corelated to snow deposition.

you wont get anymore of an authoritative take on it than discussing it with a scientist, as you are currently doing right now.
