Sus Sola Corazon

Sus Sola Corazon serves as Associate Professor at the Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management, University of Copenhagen, where she leads research within the interdisciplinary group Nature, Health & Design. Her work centers on the therapeutic relationship between natural environments and human health, with specialization in Nature-Based Therapy (NBT) development for diverse clinical populations.

Her educational background includes:

• PhD in Environmental Psychology (awarded March 1, 2012) focusing on Stress, Nature & Therapy
• Master of Educational Psychology (awarded March 1, 2007)

Corazon's research expertise spans Nature-Based Therapy program development, particularly for the University of Copenhagen's Nacadia® therapy garden. She investigates how natural environments promote mental and social health, with current emphasis on the Move Green project designing accessible green activities for people with mobility disabilities. Her work integrates environmental psychology, clinical rehabilitation, and landscape architecture to address conditions including post-concussion syndrome, anxiety, depression, and advanced cancer.

Analysis of her 2022-2025 publications reveals consistent focus on therapeutic applications of nature for specific health conditions, with growing attention to accessibility, economic evaluation, and patient-centered outcomes in natural environments. Her research increasingly bridges clinical practice with environmental design principles.

She actively collaborates across disciplines including psychology, neurology, landscape architecture, and rehabilitation medicine, contributing to both theoretical frameworks and practical therapeutic interventions. Her work demonstrates significant translational impact through manuals, therapy programs, and evidence-based design guidelines.
