Short summary

Regional Antarctic snow accumulation derived from 79 ice core records is evaluated as part of the PAGES Antarctica 2k working group. Our results show that surface mass balance for the total Antarctic ice sheet has increased at a rate of 7 ± 0.13 Gt dec^-1 since 1800 AD, representing a net reduction in sea level of ~ 0.02 mm dec^-1 since 1800 and ~ 0.04 mm dec^-1 since 1900 AD. The largest contribution is from the Antarctic Peninsula.
