Introduction
MotivationPractically all mountainous regions worldwide are subject to some forms of rock falls, snow/rock/ice avalanches, debris flows and sediment-transporting floods. These rapid mass movements pose a significant hazard to both the population and infrastructure, with billions of dollars in financial damage and thousands of fatalities each year (Dilley, 2005;Emberson et al., 2020;Froude & Petley, 2018;Petley, 2012). According to the 2021 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report, the "magnitude of debris flows might increase […] and the debris-flow season may last longer in a warmer climate" (Zhongming et al., 2021). This suggests that global warming will exacerbate the hazard potential of debris flows and various types of related mass movements. To early detect destructive events and mitigate their impact, extensive, reliable, and high-resolution monitoring and warning solutions are crucial. Seismic and acoustic instruments are increasingly popular for mass movement monitoring, since they record signatures of hazardous events even kilometers away from their occurrence without the need for a direct line of sight between source and sensor (Allstadt et al., 2018;Marchetti et al., 2019). The combination of unrivaled temporal resolution of seismic records and wide spatial sensitivity is a pivotal advantage over in situ measurements (Arattano & Marchi, 2008) and remote sensing approaches like radar technology (Leinss et al., 2020).
