About
Pere Puig is a leading marine geologist whose research bridges deep-sea sediment dynamics, benthic ecology, and fishery resource management. His work focuses on understanding how natural processes and human activities—particularly bottom trawling—reshape continental margins and impact deep-sea ecosystems. Puig’s major contributions include pioneering the use of mobile robotic platforms for acoustic tracking of deep-sea demersal fishery resources, as demonstrated in his highly cited 2020 study (60 citations), which tracked 33 tagged lobsters at 400-m depth for over three months using seafloor moored receivers. This work provided unprecedented insights into the movements of commercially valuable species like the Norway lobster (*Nephrops norvegicus*), a key resource in European waters. His research has fundamentally advanced knowledge of sediment transport, canyon dynamics, and anthropogenic impacts on the seafloor, earning him recognition as a leading voice in marine conservation. With hundreds of citations across his portfolio, Puig’s work is essential reading for students and researchers studying deep-sea ecology, sustainable fisheries, and the geological consequences of human activity on the ocean floor.
