Jonathan holds a PhD in geography from Stockholm University and a master’s degree in cognitive science from Linköping University. He researches about environmental perception in relation to human health and wellbeing, mainly focused on the development of evidence-based planning and design tools (Stoltz 2019; Stoltz & Grahn 2021). He has worked with different kinds of landscape analyses and, e.g. epidemiological data, linking environmental perceptions to various health and wellbeing outcomes in urban (Stoltz & Schaffer 2018; Stoltz, 2012) and semi-urban (Stoltz et al. 2013) settings, forests (Stoltz et al. 2016), as well as indoor environments (Stoltz 2011, 2013). Recently, one main focus has been on developing key indicators linked with important aesthetic qualities in forests.
