### Correlation Analysis  
The correlation analysis carried out for each study site is summarized in Figure 7. Correlations with elevation are not distinct and sometimes contradictory between the different sites. At Nair, a highly significant increase in horizontal movement towards higher elevations is observed but a highly significant decrease at Gianda Grischa and Muragl is observed. Additionally, elevation change tends to increase at Gianda Grischa and Davains with high significance but decrease with lower significance at Kaiserbergtal. Along with that, the direction of movement is decreasing [increasing] for Gianda Grischa, Muragl and Davains [N Nair] with high significance, indicating a tendency towards a higher proportion of subsidence [horizontal movement] at higher altitudes. At Kaiserbergtal, absolute seasonality decreases at higher elevation with high significance whereas in the Grison sites they tend to increase with elevation (high significance). Additionally, relative seasonality also increases with high significance towards higher elevations at Gianda Grischa, Muragl and Davains. The correlations with slope are generally rather low. At Nair, slope correlates negatively with horizontal movement (high significance) and positively (at lower significance) with elevation change. Moreover, slope shows negative correlation with elevation change at Davains, Kaiserbergtal (both lower significance) and Gianda Grischa (highly significant). Direction of movement tends to decrease at steeper slopes  
Figure 6: Maps showing the seasonality of all study sites: (**a**) Kaiserbergtal; (**b**) Nair; (**c**) Gianda Grischa; (**d**) Muragl; (**e**) Tellers Davains. Seasonality is visualized in an additive RGB coloring with the red band representing the preseason median 6d displacement \(med_{int\_,jul}\), the blue band representing the median 6d displacement in September (\(med_{september}\)) and the green band representing the absolute difference between the former two values (\(seasonality_{abs}\)). The white bounding box in the maps (50 m buffer around rock glacier units) was used to exclude areas outside from analysis.

For all sites except Nair, absolute seasonality tends to decrease at steeper slopes (high significance: Kaiserbergtal, Davains; lower significance: Gianda Grischa, Muragl). Relative seasonality shows a negative correlation with slope at Kaiserbergtal, Gianda Grischa (highly significant) and Davains (lower significance), but a positive correlation with high significance at Nair. With increasing absolute seasonality, we see a lower significant increase in horizontal movement at Nair, and a highly significant and strong increase in elevation change at all other sites. The direction of movement is decreasing with high significance at Gianda Grischa, Muragl and Davains, indicating a higher proportion of subsidence for areas with higher absolute seasonality. With increasing relative seasonality (proportion of seasonal component on the average summer movement) less horizontal movement is observed in all sites (high significance: Gianda Grischa, Muragl, Davains; lower significance: Kaiserbergtal, Nair), whereas a positive increase in elevation change could only be observed at Kaiserbergtal. As a result, the angle of movement tends to decrease for all sites, indicating a higher proportion of subsidence. This effect is highly significant for all sites except Nair (lower significance). When assessing the timing of the seasonal component (Figure 8), we see a positive correlation with EOS at Muragl, Kaiserbergtal and Davains (all high significance, latter two rather weak). EOS tends to be later at higher elevations for all sites except Gianda Grischa (high significance), though there is no sign that the seasonal movement component starts later at higher elevations. Contrarily, the seasonal component tends to start earlier at higher elevations at Gianda Grischa (high significance; Figure 8).
