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 2018
The hydrogen-bonded complex between hydrogen peroxide and formic acid was studied by rotational spectroscopy and ab initio calculations. Because of the simplicity, chemical activity, and importance of hydrogen peroxide, it is a prototypical molecule to study intermolecular interactions, in...

Spring 2021
The chirality controlledstructural panoramas of several prototypic chiral molecular systems were studied in a conformational specific manner using molecular rotational resonance spectroscopy. Comprehensive conformational ensemble spaces were explored theoretically to aid the interpretation of...

From the Pre-critical Nucleus to Atmospheric Aerosol Particles: Insights from Rotational Spectroscopic, Computational, and Aerosol Characterization Studies
DownloadFall 2024
Over the past several years in Alberta, the frequency and severity of wildfires has increased and resulted in the loss of lives, destruction of housing, and devastation of large forest areas. A byproduct of these fires are toxic emissions that contain primary aerosols and volatile organic...

High Resolution Rotational Spectroscopic Studies of the Dynamics and Conformations of Dispersion and Hydrogen Bonded Molecular Complexes
DownloadFall 2022
High resolution rotational spectra of non-covalently bonded molecular clusters produced in a supersonic jet expansion can provide detailed and rich information about their structure-energy relationship and dynamical behaviors. In this thesis, several non-covalently bonded molecular clusters which...

Investigating the Early Phases of Aerosol Particle Nucleation: A Broadband Rotational Spectroscopic and Computational Study
DownloadFall 2023
Atmospheric aerosols consist of solid or liquid particles suspended in air with sizes ranging from a few nanometers to several micrometers. Aerosols have the ability to both scatter and absorb incoming solar radiation, directly influencing Earth’s energy budget and resulting in either cooling or...
