Short summary
We investigated how volcanic soils and heavy rainfall trigger dangerous debris flows in the southern Andes. Our findings show saturated volcanic-soils above less permeable glacial deposits create ideal conditions for slope failures. Monitoring soil moisture and surface changes helps predict these events. This knowledge aids in protecting communities from debris flow hazards, increasingly important under climate change.
