  • Mobile robotic platforms for the acoustic tracking of deep-sea demersal fishery resources (2020, Science Robotics)
  • Contrasting particle fluxes and composition in a submarine canyon affected by natural sediment transport events and bottom trawling (2022, Frontiers in Marine Science)
  • Impact of storms on residence times and export of coastal waters during a mild autumn/winter period in the Gulf of Lion (2020, Continental Shelf Research)
  • Sediment dynamics in the Gulf of Lion (NW Mediterranean Sea) during two autumn-winter periods with contrasting meteorological conditions (2022, Progress In Oceanography)

Pere Puig frequently collaborates with several other researchers, including Albert Palanqués, Sarah Paradis, Ruth Durán, Marta Arjona-Camas, and Claudio Lo Iacono.

The venues where they have regularly published include:

  • Frontiers in Marine Science
  • Marine Pollution Bulletin
  • The Science of The Total Environment
