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.

Sedimentology and Neoichnology of a Mixed-Energy Estuary, Tillamook Bay, Oregon, United States
DownloadSpring 2014
Studies of modern, marginal marine sedimentary environments are widely used in paleoenvironmental interpretations, due to the high amount of sedimentological and neoichnological insight they can provide. Limited studies have been conducted on the distribution of facies in mixed-energy estuaries,...

Sedimentology and Neoichnology of a Wave-Dominated, Tidally-Influenced, Fully Marine Bay, Oregon, USA
DownloadFall 2013
In the field of ichnology it is understood that modern process ichnological observations of biogenically generated structures, in response to various physicochemical parameters, have substantial applicability to deciphering trace fossil assemblages observed in the rock record. Previous research...

Sedimentology and stratigraphy of the Granite Wash: Contact Rapids and Keg River Sandstone (Red Earth area)
DownloadFall 2010
The Granite Wash is comprised of diachronous, Cambrian to Devonian sandstone deposits, which include the Devonian Contact Rapids and Keg River sandstones of which this study will focus. Prolific oil production from the Granite Wash has fueled exploration since the 1950s and as a result...

Sedimentology and Stratigraphy of the Upper Cretaceous Milk River Formation and Alderson Member (Lea Park Formation) in Southeast Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2023
The Upper Cretaceous Milk River Formation-Lower Alderson Member zone in Southeast Alberta records deposition of a fine-grained siliciclastic delta-shoreface on the western margin of the Western Interior Seaway punctuated by significant episodes of shoreline transgression and regression. The...

Fall 2011
The Carnian Charlie Lake Formation is a hydrocarbon bearing formation found predominantly in northeastern British Columbia, Canada. Aeolian sand bodies are present in both the subsurface and outcrop occurrences, and in fields like Brassey, are the primary hydrocarbon reservoir. For this study,...

Sedimentology, diagenesis, and dolomitization of the Brac Formation (Lower Oligocene), Cayman Brac, British West Indies
DownloadFall 2009
The Oligocene Brac Formation is the oldest part of the Bluff Group that is exposed on Cayman Brac. Sediments of the Brac Formation were deposited on a small, open bank in shallow marine waters. Today, the formation is composed of limestone, finely crystalline dolostone, and coarsely crystalline...
-
Sedimentology, Ichnology and Biogenic Permeability of the upper Montney Formation, northeast British Columbia
DownloadFall 2017
The upper Montney Formation is a tight gas reservoir that consists of silt and very fine-grained sandstone in its entirety. Despite its limited variation in grain-size, this formation is highly heterogeneous and the distribution of facies is complex, both vertically and laterally. Subtle changes...

Sedimentology, ichnology, and development of a sub-regional depositional and stratigraphic framework for the McMurray-Wabiskaw succession in the MacKay River Area, northeastern Alberta
DownloadFall 2011
The lower Cretaceous McMurray Formation is a prolific bitumen reservoir in the Athabasca Oil Sands deposit of northeastern Alberta. In the MacKay River area northwest of Fort McMurray, the depositional style, stratigraphy, and reservoir character differ from that of the traditional main valley...
