Media and the Politics of Arctic Climate Change: When the Ice Breaks

NY : Palgrave Macmillan, 2013.

Academic editor: M. Christensen, A. Nilsson, N. Wormbs

The Arctic sea-ice reached record lows in 2007, and again in 2012. In the international news media, these moments were reflected via striking images of polar bears, crumbling icechunks and the use of more alarmist metaphors about global climate change. Through these narratives, and despite the periodic disappearance of climate change from media reports due to issue fatigue, a sharper narrative of climate change has entered public discourse: a new global reality where the future is no longer a given. Going beyond media studies as well as descriptive or highly scientific accounts of the impacts of climate change in the Arctic, this book explores how both historical and contemporary mediations, scientific narratives and satellite technology simultaneously capture and reconstruct this new reality of the Anthropocene, where human activities shape the planet. By highlighting the linkagesbetween science, media, environmental change and geopolitics, the informed contributors to the volume invite the reader to reflect on what is local and what is global in today's connected mediatized world.

An Ice Free Arctic Sea? The Science of Sea Ice and Its Interests

Sorlin S., Lajus J., , in: Media and the Politics of Arctic Climate Change: When the Ice Breaks.: NY: Palgrave Macmillan, 2013. Ch. 4 P. 70–92.

In this chapter we want to see what historical narratives can tell us in order to better understand our concerns with the vanishing ice as evidence of a current mega-transition. Was the 2007 minimum unique? When and why did science start to study Arctic sea ice? Have there been periods of an ice-free Arctic Sea ...

Molecular dynamics simulations refine the pathogenicity of ACVRL1 kinase domain variants by quantifying impacts on ATP binding in pulmonary arterial hypertension

Borovikova I., Okhrimenko G., Zamyatin V. et al., Journal of Structural Biology 2026 Vol. 218 No. 2 Article 108315

Single amino acid substitutions in the ATP-binding domain of ACVRL1, a key receptor in the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathway, are frequently classified as variants of uncertain significance (VUS), complicating molecular diagnosis for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT). Since aberrant ATP binding disrupts downstream SMAD1/5/8 phosphorylation, we employed molecular dynamics ...

uPAR deficiency triggers TGFβ1-mediated fibrotic remodeling in a cardiac perivascular-like microenvironment

Goltseva Y., Tsokolaeva Z., Beloglazova I. et al., Stem Cell Research and Therapy 2026 Vol. 17 No. 1

Background Cardiac fibrosis represents a significant health burden, with endothelial dysfunction and damaged perivascular microenvironment increasingly recognized as key contributors to fibrotic remodeling. The urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR), a critical component of the urokinase system, plays a pivotal role in vascular remodeling and fibrosis. While prior evidence indicates that uPAR deficiency leads to microvascular dysfunction and perivascular fibrosis, ...
