Senior scientific researcher, specialized in marine natural resources and biological oceanography, his main subjects are health status bioindicators of benthic coastal populations, energy fluxes in the bentho-pelagic coupling processes, aquaculture and transplantation of suspension feeder benthic organisms and the management and conservation of wild marine fauna. Sergio Rossi has more than 90 SCI publications, has participated in 53 national and international congresses and in 35 scientific and applied projects. Is and active collaborator with different journals and magazines (Público, El País, Geo, Quercus, etc.) with more than 130 scientific outreach publications. Is also author of scientific novels (MEDUSA, 2007 y Cementerio de Icebergs, 2010, Plaza & Janés), critical scientific essays (El Planeta Azul, un universo en extinción; 2011, Debate; UN VIAJE A LA ANTÁRTIDA Un científico en el continente olvidado; 2013, Tusquets) and kid's books(El equipo Krakatek: Los vagabundos del hielo (Febrero 2011), El pez de Oro (Mayo 2011), Ediciones B).
