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.

Spring 2013
Biofilm formation in porous media is of significant importance in many environmental and industrial processes such as bioremediation, oil recovery, and wastewater treatment. In the present study, we fabricated a porous media mimic inside a microfluidic device to observe the growth of bacteria in...

Fall 2012
To understand the water cycle on Mars, details of mass and energy transfer between the surface and the atmosphere are of importance. A complete model, involving transient variations of the water in gaseous and solid phases in the atmosphere and the regolith, is developed and solved numerically...

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE GEOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS OF BUBBLES/DROPLETS PASSING THROUGH A PORE SPACE
DownloadFall 2021
The multi-phase flow motion of droplets and bubbles through porous media has been reported for different applications. The importance of the effect of the presence of emulsions on the performance of steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) for oil extraction is discussed as a relevant process. SAGD...

Spring 2017
Operations with drilling fluids require multiple performance requirements. Among those, fluid loss issue is a very severe problem that is encountered in many drilling operations. Rheological and transport properties of drilling muds in porous media control the fluid loss behavior in reservoir...

The Biomicrofluidics of Microbiologically Induced Calcite Precipitation Mediated by Sporosarcina pasteurii
DownloadSpring 2018
I studied a particular bacterium Sporosarcina pasteurii (S. Pasteurii) which has a unique ability to cause chemical precipitation in an aqueous medium in the presence of certain molecules like urea. These precipitated chemicals can go deep inside a network of micro-scale pores and cause clogging....
