The Little Ice Age in Europe (between about 1350 and 1850) marked the largestglacier extent over the entire Holocene period. Although several authors haveinvestigated the causes of the substantial glacier advances in the mid-19thcentury and the rapid retreat following this phase, a conclusive insightlinking all relevant components is still lacking. The so-called "Paradox of theLittle Ice Age" refers to the yet unsolved problem why glaciers in the Alpsexperienced rapid growth around 1850 and subsequent decline despite airtemperatures remaining at a low level until 1920. Here, we propose a simplemodel to explain glacier advance and retreat during the maximum of the LittleIce Age with the primary climatological drivers: air temperature andprecipitation variations, changes in solar irradiation and glacier-surfacealbedo effects. These forcing mechanisms allow attributing the causes ofglacier change, and, hence, enhancing our understanding of past and futureglacier response.
