The scope ladder, the method cycle and the water-energy-food-ecosystems nexus
Nexus-Based Risk Management is the Academy's encompassing frame for interconnected risk, grown from the water-energy-food-ecosystems nexus.

Twin figures for the Tonle Sap and the Lower Mekong at Phnom Penh, counted from its layers at their stated dates.
For Department of Nexus-Based Risk Management: the faculty's twin of Tonle Sap on the planet map, the globe and in 3D. Pick a generator, switch layers, run the instruments; every layer prints its provider and date.

Flat plan of the same data: the lake and rivers, the dams, the plants by capacity, the cropland and tree cover cells and the numbers below. The 3D twin opens on devices with WebGL once its data and library have been checked; discharge, vegetation, surface water and the annual land cover load in the twin on request, each with its data date.
The map loads from this site as it nears the view (MapLibre 6.9.1, checked by hash).
The department teaches the scope ladder from entity to sector, system of systems, region and planet; the eight-step method cycle from scoping and interdependency mapping through compound and cascade scenarios, systemic stress testing, options appraisal, anticipatory triggers and the governance of shared exposure to monitoring and correction; the upward flow of entity registers into the nexus layer and the downward flow of systemic notices, tolerances and scenario packs; evidence grading from not bound to validated; and the trade-offs and synergies between water, energy, food and ecosystems on basins, cities and national plans, under ISO 31000 and the Sendai Framework, which the frame nests and never replaces. On the faculty's twin the department's instrument is the loop simulator: the Tonle Sap's inflow, a reservoir you size, the turbine, the irrigated cropland WorldCover measured and the flooded lake, with every parameter on screen. A graduate can place a risk register on the scope ladder, write its dependency fields, run the method cycle on a basin and grade every finding by its evidence.
