This decommissioned ERA site remains active temporarily to support our final migration steps to https://ualberta.scholaris.ca, ERA's new home. All new collections and items, including Spring 2025 theses, are at that site. For assistance, please contact erahelp@ualberta.ca.
Journal Articles & Research Abstracts (Helmholtz-Alberta Initiative)
These are peer-reviewed articles and abstracts that can be openly shared according to publisher policies. The research was funded in part by the Helmholtz-Alberta Initiative, which is an independent international research partnership that effectively amalgamates the scientific and technical expertise of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres and the University of Alberta to jointly develop solutions to key challenges in fields such as energy, ecosystem and resource informatics, and health.

Naeth, M. A., Raab, T., Bens, O., Krümmelbein, J.
Germany is the world’s leading lignite coal producer. The region surrounding the towns of Cottbus and Senftenberg in Lusatia, Eastern Germany, is one of the largest mining areas in Germany, and has economically been strongly dependent on lignite mining and lignite processing industries since the...

Naeth, M. A., Cohen-Fernández, A. C., Wilkinson, S. R.
Limestone quarry reclamation worldwide requires development of substrates or anthroposolic soils. The suitability of three limestone substrates (gray, gray brown, crushed) for revegetation was assessed in two greenhouse experiments. In the first experiment amended substrates (pulp mill sludge,...

Naeth, M. A., Wilkinson, S. R., Drozdowski, B. L.
Mine waste materials with potential for use in soil construction at a diamond mine in the Northwest Territories were evaluated to address physical and chemical limitations for plant establishment, growth and development. Substrates were glacial till, gravel, processed kimberlite, and 50:50 and...

Christensen, A. F., Dyck, M. F., Turner, L. E., Chanasyk, D. S., Naeth, M. A., He, H., Nichol, C.
Understanding the soil and climatic conditions affecting the partitioning of snowmelt to runoff and infiltration during spring snow ablation is a requisite for water resources management and environmental risk assessment in cold semi-arid regions. Soil freezing and thawing processes, snowmelt...
