Sujet(s) : Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : Does research on environmental change itself contribute to what it denounces? Through the notion of overgrazing, this article seeks to question the impact of science on the research field sites, particularly on territories that attract a high concentration of researchers. The social sciences have already taken up the issue of over-research, but it remains marginal among the environmental sciences. Within the field of the geography of science, which studies scientific research as a spatialized social fact; this paper explores the notion of overgrazing by applying it to the case of Kongsfjorden in the Arctic archipelago of Svalbard. The example of Kongsfjorden allows understanding how the attractiveness of a territory for scientific research is constructed and questions the relationship of researchers to their fieldwork sites.
