Repetitive small seismicity coupled with rainfall can trigger large slope instabilities on metastable volcanic edifices

Abstract Quantifying the effect of external forcings like seismicity or rain on slope destabilization is a long-standing and challenging issue. To investigate the respective roles of these forcings, we analyze an unprecedented 10-year long catalog of rockfalls occurring in the crater of the Piton de...
