Illustrative: a joint probability density whose dependence shifts over time
Risk Academy, led by the Nexus Consortium · Hazards, Disasters and Resilience
Disasters rarely arrive one hazard at a time: an earthquake triggers landslides and a dam failure, a cyclone brings wind, surge and rain together, a drought dries the fuel a fire then burns.

The subtopics its courses and labs teach.
For risk analysts, modellers and planners who assess places exposed to more than one hazard and need methods that treat hazards jointly rather than adding single-hazard results.
Each method is listed with what it assumes and where it fails.
Bodies and standards are named so learners can find and apply their published work; the Academy teaches their use and links to the publisher, and no affiliation is implied.

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.
