Abstract
This chapter focuses on the relationships between hillslope processes and climate change. Particular attention is given to the role of climate variations on the temporal and spatial occurrence of landslides (including falls, topples, slides, flows, and spreads). An introduction on the causes and trends of climate change is provided as a basis for a better understanding of the influence of temperature and precipitation changes on gravity-induced processes on hillslopes through time. The links between global and regional climate change and landslide activity (or inactivity) at different temporal scales (from interannual to millennial) are explored, providing information on the major findings on the topic in different parts of the world as well.
