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.
Theses and Dissertations
This collection contains theses and dissertations of graduate students of the University of Alberta. The collection contains a very large number of theses electronically available that were granted from 1947 to 2009, 90% of theses granted from 2009-2014, and 100% of theses granted from April 2014 to the present (as long as the theses are not under temporary embargo by agreement with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies). IMPORTANT NOTE: To conduct a comprehensive search of all UofA theses granted and in University of Alberta Libraries collections, search the library catalogue at www.library.ualberta.ca - you may search by Author, Title, Keyword, or search by Department.
To retrieve all theses and dissertations associated with a specific department from the library catalogue, choose 'Advanced' and keyword search "university of alberta dept of english" OR "university of alberta department of english" (for example). Past graduates who wish to have their thesis or dissertation added to this collection can contact us at erahelp@ualberta.ca.

Application of chemometric and experimental tools for monitoring processes of industrial importance
DownloadFall 2019
The common theme of this work was to investigate the relationships between multi-dimensional experimental data and the physical and chemical properties of certain reacting systems that have industrial relevance. Three particular systems of increasing complexity in terms of composition of the...

Fall 2019
On-line analytical tools are needed to optimize the upgrading process. This technology could reduce environmental impacts, reduce costs, and enhance quality control of heavy oil feeds. Ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy, a well established ex-situ technique, is one example that could...

On the impact of drought-induced abiotic stress on the composition of Douglas-fir lignin for valorization
DownloadFall 2022
Rising interest in the transition to renewable energy, materials, and chemicals ushers biorefining strategies that effectively utilize all components of lignocellulosic biomass feedstocks. Concurrently, more frequent and severe drought brought on by accelerating climate change pose questions...

Understanding the Chemistry of Conversion of Model Compounds and Biomass by Hydrous Pyrolysis Based on Spectroscopic Data Using Data Fusion, Data Mining, and Chemometrics
DownloadFall 2019
Encoding the presence of multispecies in a complex system, difficulty in characterizing the physical constituents of the products with analytical instruments along with developing the causality or modeling between these groups are some major challenges in a complex system such as biomass...
