This paper presents a survey conducted among the community of transport historians, on the occasion of the annual conference of the main association in this field, T2M. The survey collected quantitative and qualitative data on air travel by these scholars during 2019. The paper discusses the weight of social factors (gender, academic position, age) in the carbon footprint of these researchers due to flying. It shows the strong dependence of this community on flying, perceived as the only system likely to meet the need for physical encounters, particularly for conferences and the life of academic networks. It also shows that these historians see the issue of the airplane as a moral problem for which their institutions are expected to propose solutions. However, the scale of the weight of long-haul flights seems to be underestimated by the scholars' perception, while it raises questions about the ability to find alternative solutions.

科学共同体的碳足迹:对流动性历史学家的调查以及他们对航空旅行的归一化但也很丰富的依赖

本文介绍了在运输历史学家社区(T2M)这一领域主要协会的年度会议之际进行的一项调查。这项调查收集了这些学者在2019年期间进行的航空旅行的定量和定性数据。本文讨论了这些研究人员由于飞行而产生的碳足迹中的社会因素(性别,学历,年龄)的权重。它显示了该社区对飞行的强烈依赖,这被认为是可能满足身体相遇(尤其是会议和学术网络生活)需求的唯一系统。这也表明,这些历史学家将飞机问题视为道德问题,期望其机构为其提出解决方案。然而,
