Risk Academy, led by the Nexus Consortium · Map tools
Every faculty page carries a full-width map, GIS and globe view built on one open map stack.
Each map opens on the world, with the faculty's worked example one click away; the layers follow the faculty's subject.
Each source with its entry in the data-source register and the date its request from these pages was checked (an open response the browser may read).
A faculty page carries the map section and a small loader. When the section nears the view, the loader fetches this page from the same site, checks the SHA-256 of the map payload against the digest the faculty page was built with, and only then runs it: the flat canvas map (Natural Earth outlines), the MapLibre GL engine 6.9.1 with globe and 2D (its library from a pinned CDN, each file checked by hash), the source adapter and the faculty's layer plan. The expert tools and the share, cite and export dialog load the same way when asked for.
Context rasters whose rows do not admit Academy use (relief, imagery and reference layers of other public maps) are removed before any tile is requested; the 3D view of each faculty is its twin.

No source is enabled for live display on this site yet: the sources are listed for reference and none is queried. Once the publisher of record enables a source after its terms are reviewed, recent works are listed here. Metadata and links only: title, authors, venue, year, type, open-access status and licence as each source records them; works are listed for orientation, not reviewed or endorsed.
Nexus Reports is the Consortium's quarterly publication. What you know about this subject can become evidence, a case or a correction in the next edition, credited to you and published under CC BY 4.0 where it is your own work.
Each faculty home, department and discipline page carries its map below the twin.
