The atoll nation of Tuvalu lies only a few meters above the seas of the equatorial Pacific, and is at high risk for inundation and storm surges due to climate change. However, in spite of the media narrative of "sinking" Tuvalu, when understood in broader contexts of time and space, the existence of atolls is highly temporal and dynamic, based on sediment hydrodynamics and coral reef production. The designation of Tuvalu as a 'nation' is also a narrow temporal framing, of colonial origin. The inhabitants of Tuvalu's atolls were historically highly mobile peoples, moving from island to island in response to resource or social concerns. Tuvaluans today continue to be mobile peoples, migrating between atolls and globally, but this movement is now limited by global territorial sanctions. Climate change creates the risk of uncertain territory and uncertain identity for Tuvaluans; the submergence of the islands below mean sea level threatens rights to their territorial waters (EEZ) as well as their nationhood status as they lose the space to practice their cultural identity. The modern nation-state views its contents (population and geography) as relatively static. The inherently fluid nature of these components in Tuvalu, further amplified by climate change, problematizes the hard lines of territory and state drawn sharply in the contemporary era. When both ground and people are acknowledged as fluid entities, how might we re-imagine the spatial and social form of the Tuvaluan nation? How can Tuvalu continue to exert territorial claims when both the subject and object of nationhood are in flux? And how can Tuvalu's spatially oriented cultural identity be maintained as its population becomes increasingly mobile? Instead of ceding territory to the rising waters of climate change, this thesis posits 'seeding' territory as an alternative. The project explores the propagation of the architectural 'seed' as a way to 'grow' territory in the context of migratory populations and unstable geographies. The seeds consider territory both in the sense of transnational legislation (per the UN Law of the Seas) but also in the cultural sense of Tuvaluans, as a collective space of shared resources and identity. The seeds generate physical territory and facilitate social networks and identities. The design of these seeds is then conceptually tested in future social and environmental scenarios both for both the in- and ex- situ nation.

Full textThe exacerbated properties of Rydberg atoms have extended the possibilities offered by cold atoms in creating atomic gases in very strong interaction with applications including quantum simulations in many-body physics or in achieving of quantum gates with the dipole blocking phenomenon. The use of cold Rydberg atoms is however currently limited by the fact that it is not possible to continue to apply the experimental techniques of optical manipulation with the atoms to an active electron. The attention of the Rydberg atoms cold community is recently focused on the two active electron atoms offering possibilities, once one of the two electrons excited to a Rydberg state, to provide a second optically active electron that it will be possible to manipulate with laser light.The objective of this thesis is to extend the optical manipulation techniques to atoms with two active electrons excited in Rydberg states, in the case of the ytterbium atom. It has on the one hand the design and assembly of the experimental apparatus for obtaining a source of cold Rydberg ytterbium atoms. Ultimately, this device will allow the optical manipulation of these Rydberg atoms. Furthermore, it presents the development of a numerical model that implements the multichannel quantum defect theory to the theoretical determination of the energy spectrum of ytterbium and its behavior under the influence of external perturbations

Full textLow-lying reef islands and coastal areas of tropical mountainous islands are highly vulnerable to the impacts of tropical cyclones and the expected effects of climate change. However, while the French metropolitan coasts have benefited from a significant effort to assess their long-term changes, French overseas islands are the least documented areas in French Territory. Based on this observation, this thesis examines the respective contribution of natural and anthropogenic drivers in the past evolution of reef islands (French Polynesia) and mountainous island beaches (Northern Lesser Antilles). This study relies on a combined approach between geomatic and fieldwork. From a multi-scalar (spatial and temporal) analysis, we detect and attribute the planimetric changes experienced by the sedimentary systems of the studied islands. Results on reef islands are comparable to those of previous studies which established that most of the islands have been stable or in expansion over the last decades. They allow to suggest conceptual models of long-term trajectories and examine the respective contribution of the drivers considered in this study. On mountainous island beaches, this study shows that local settings explain the high longitudinal variability detected in various climatic situations. In addition, this study contributes to the global samples of studied islands and to move forward on the understanding of past coastal changes in French overseas islands

Full textRydberg atoms offer an ideal platform for the study of long-range interacting systems.However, usual techniques for imaging and trapping are unavailable in alkali Rydberg atoms. Our approach rely on the use of a two-optically-active-valence-electrons atom such as ytterbium. Ionic core transitions of this atom offer new perspecives for optical manipulation in the Rydberg state. However,questions remain open, especially on the possibilities of avoiding the autoionization, process which occurs when the atom is doubly excited.In this thesis, we report on the construction of the experiment, from the cooling and trapping of theatoms to the excitation in Rydberg states. Because of the interactions between valence electrons, the spectroscopy of these highly excited states is relatively complicated. An experimental study, coupled to a multi-channel quantum defect analysis (MQDT) has been done on the s,p,d and f Rydberg series. This study produced an improvement on the precision of the spectroscopy of this series by more than two orders of magnitude. We then studied the isolated core excitationon the 6s1/2 -> 6p1/2 transition for Rydberg states of large orbital quantum numbers (l=5-9). This study showed that auto-ionisation is mostly due to the coupling to the continuum of the 5d3/2 core state. In opposition to the barium atom, where auto-ionisation drops rapidly with the orbital quantum number, we have shown that ytterbium is less favourable to that extent. Thanks to this study we will be able to determine which states are good candidates for the optical manipulation
