  abstract = {{D}ating moraines by lichenometry enabled us to reconstruct glacier recession in the {B}olivian {A}ndes since the {L}ittle {I}ce {A}ge maximum. {O}n the 15 proglacial margins studied, we identified a system of tell principal moraines that marks the successive positions of glaciers over the last four {C}enturies. {M}oraines were dated by perl'onning statistical analysis of lichen rnea{SU}renients based on the extrerne values theory. {L}ike glaciers ill many mid-latitude mountain areas, {B}olivian glaciers reached their maximal extent during the second half of the 17th century. {T}his glacier maximum coincides with the {M}aunder minimum of solar irradiance. {B}y reconstructing the equilibrium-line altitude and changes in mass-balance, we think the glacier maximum may be due to a 20 to 30% increase in precipitation and a 1.1 to 1.2 degrees {C} decrease in temperature compared with present conditions. {I}n the early 18th century, glaciers started to retreat at varying rates until the late 19th to early 20th century; this trend was generally associated with decreasing accumulation rates. {B}y contrast, glacier recession in the 20th century was mainly the consequence of an increase in temperature and humidity. {T}hese results are consistent with observations made ill the study region based on other proxies.},
