Abstract
Climatic changes have largely influenced human activities and the features of the territory through the occurrence, for instance, of severe extreme events. Landslide occurrence, in most cases, is strictly correlated with very intense or prolonged rainfalls though the mechanism of transferring the effective precipitation to pore pressure. This is very complex and still to be exhaustively investigated and understood. The above process is also affected by climate changing due to the variability of amount and pattern of precipitation in long-time trends.
