        opportunity to constrain present-day Glacial Isostatic
        Adjustment (GIA) in East Antarctica, with impacts on Gravity
        Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) and other estimates of
        ice-mass change. In this study, we use Global Positioning System
        (GPS) displacement time series to provide new observations of
        uplift in the TAM region. We demonstrate that the deformation
        signal due to Surface Mass Balance (SMB) loading manifests as a
        multi-year apparent change in the vertical linear
        trends{\textemdash}that is, a change in velocity. After
        correcting for SMB-induced elastic deformation, we find that
        most GPS sites in the TAM region exhibit velocities approaching
        zero, with a median rate of 0.67 mm/yr. This is lower than
        forward GIA models predict, suggesting revisions to regional ice
        history and/or Earth models are required and current GIA models
        bias estimates of present-day ice sheet mass change.}",
