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.

Fall 2020
The demand for fresh water is steadily increasing as a result of the increasing human populations and activities. On the other hand, water sources are limited, especially as the global warming continues to change the quantities and distribution of water all over the world. Therefore, focusing the...

Spring 2024
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction through carbon capture and storage (CCS) will be pivotal in achieving the world’s net zero emissions target by 2050. However, we have a long way to go before CCS is implemented at scale worldwide. Emerging technologies such as adsorption-based CO2 capture...

Fall 2023
Adsorption-based oxygen concentrators are modular devices that take in air and operate using electricity to produce 95% pure oxygen. These devices consume less unit energy and are more economical when producing oxygen on a small-to-medium scale (< 300 tons oxygen per day), compared to cryogenic...

Spring 2016
Cellulose nanocrystal (CNC), a new breathtaking nanomaterial, is of scientific and commercial interest because of its low density, renewability, biodegradability, non-toxity and wide range of application potential such as personal care, paints, pharmaceuticals, coatings, drilling fluids, etc (1)....

Fall 2019
In nature, the molybdenite ores are frequently associated with copper sulfide minerals such as chalcopyrite, and the flotation separation of copper-molybdenum (Cu-Mo) sulfides largely relies on the use of toxic and hazardous depressants such as cyanides, Na2S/NaHS. It is desired to replace these...

Trace Element Variability in Clay Sediments as a Function of Environmental Conditions within the Fluvial to Marine Water Transition Zone
DownloadFall 2019
Estuaries are marginal marine environments of considerable complexity, due to their spatial and temporal variations in hydrodynamic energy, water chemistry, and sediment source and composition. This complexity hinders geologists’ ability to accurately reconstruct paleoenvironments and...

Treating Waste with Waste – Calcined Bauxite Residue (CBR) as a Potential Wastewater Treatment Option for Oil Sands Process-affected Water (OSPW) and Municipal Wastewater
DownloadFall 2023
Bauxite residue is a byproduct generated during the extraction of alumina from bauxite ore. It is highly alkaline and has the potential to release toxic substances (metals) into the surrounding environment during storage. Hence, there is a growing interest in exploring the potential for metal...
