摘要: Abstract Lowering the growth in greenhouse gas emissions from air travel may be critical for avoiding dangerous levels of climate change, and yet some individuals perceive frequent to their professional success. Using a sample 705 travellers at University British Columbia, we investigated influence career stage, research productivity, field expertise, other variables on academic associated emissions. This is first time that has evaluated link between observed First, compared behaviour different stages found start careers were responsible fewer than senior academics. Second, since advancement depend an academic’s ability form partnerships disseminate abroad, relationship publicly available bibliometric measurements. We no metrics productivity including hIa (h-index adjusted age discipline). There was, however, salary remains significant even when controlling seniority. Finally, based premise academics studying topics related sustainability have greater responsibility or motivation reduce emissions, coded 165 researchers our as either “Green” “Not-green.” difference Green Not-green total types might easiest avoid. Taken together, this preliminary evidence suggests there opportunities, especially who study sustainability, while maintaining productive careers.
