    There is a systematic lack of information on the effects of the climate and environmental changes on the frequency and the intensity of landslides and their triggering phenomena. The problem is particularly severe in mountain areas, where natural and human-driven climatic and environmental changes may alter significantly the frequency and the intensity of the slope processes, with largely unknown short and long-term effects on the landscapes and the environment. HAMMER project intends to cope with this topic by collecting accurate and long term time series of ground surface and sub-surface deformation, and analyzing eventual changes of the deformation trend associated with meteorological and climatic variables over time. The project HAMMER will focus mainly on the following study areas: Italian Western Alps, Apennines, Pyrenees, and Atacama desert, Andes.
