Landslide event warning in mining areas is essential for geohazard risk mitigation and infrastructure safety. With the increasing use of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) monitoring networks, warning decisions are often derived from abnormal deformation responses in continuous displacement records. However, deriving stable and transferable warning decisions from GNSS networks is challenged by spatially coupled station responses, time-varying displacement patterns, and incomplete or disturbed observations. To address these issues, this study proposes a graph-augmented gradient boosting decision tree framework, termed GA-GBDT (Graph-Augmented Gradient Boosting Decision Trees), for multi-station landslide event warning in mining areas. The framework first constructs a weighted station graph to encode spatial dependence across stations. Based on this graph, a Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) and a Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) are integrated to learn spatio-temporal embeddings, which are then fused with station-wise features and fed into XGBoost (eXtreme Gradient Boosting) for warning decision-making. Experiments on a 90-station GNSS network show that GA-GBDT outperforms representative rule-based, machine-learning, and deep-learning baselines, achieving more robust warning performance with improved generalization and false-alarm control. These results indicate that GA-GBDT improves warning robustness, decision stability, and cross-zone generalization for GNSS-based landslide warning in mining areas, with potential transferability to other slope warning scenarios.
