“…Rockfall is a ubiquitous, gravitational‐driven process in steep terrain. There is evidence for dry rockfall and rock avalanches on Earth (e.g., Stock et al., 2013), as well as on the Moon and Mars (Bickel, Aaron, et al., 2020; Bickel, Conway, et al., 2020; Kumar et al., 2013; Vijayan et al., 2022; Ward et al., 2011; Figures 1a–1d). There has been a wealth of research into its preconditioning and cause, both on vertical walls and on mountain slope topography (e.g., Benjamin et al., 2020; D’Amato et al., 2016; Frayssines & Hantz, 2006; Grenon & Hadjigeorgiou, 2008; Matasci et al., 2018; Messenzehl et al., 2017; Wieczorek et al., 1992; Williams et al., 2019).…”
