Tercia Strydom

Committee Coordinator

My name is Tercia Strydom and I recently completed my MSc in Hydrology at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. My MSc project focused on determining the effects of long-term fire treatments on soil hydrological and physical properties in semi-arid savannas in Kruger National Park (KNP). Soon I will be embarking on a new academic journey, i.e. my PhD. My PhD research will focus on the quantification of transmission losses along the lower reaches of the Letaba River— one of the major rivers in the Lowveld which flows into KNP. In addition, I am working for South African National Parks (SANParks) as a Junior Scientist within Scientific Services in KNP. Besides academics, my interests include exploring the Lowveld, reading, watching series (especially “Game of Thrones”) and to be honest, catching up on lost sleep.
