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.

Life history strategies of northern form Dolly Varden (Salvelinus malma malma) in the western Canadian Arctic
DownloadFall 2017
Northern form Dolly Varden char (Salvelinus malma malma) inhabit cold-water streams in the western Canadian Arctic. They are an important cultural and subsistence resource to local Aboriginal communities, yet little is known about their complex early life histories. Populations of Dolly Varden...

Limnology of a Large Northern Lake (Lhù’ààn Mânʼ [Kluane Lake], Yukon) in an Era of Reconciliation and Rapid Climate Change
DownloadSpring 2022
Almost 60% of Canada’s freshwater drains North, where air temperatures are increasing at twice the global rate. Despite the exposure of northern lakes to higher rates of change and their ecological, hydrological, and cultural importance, baseline knowledge and monitoring of their water properties...

Landscapes are heterogeneous and animals respond to this heterogeneity by altering their movement patterns. This thesis was motivated by the need to understand the impact of a particular type of heterogeneity, anthropogenic linear features, on wolf (Canis lupus) movement in the central east...

Linkage mapping, phenotypic characterization, and introgression analysis of crosses with safflower (Carthamus tinctorius)
DownloadSpring 2011
An inter-specific linkage map of a backcross (BC1) population derived from a cross between C. tinctorius and C. oxyacanthus was developed using primarily microsatellite markers. A composite map, which aligned the inter-specific (C. tinctorius x C. oxyacanthus) map with an intra-specific linkage...

Linking partial migration to endo- and ectoparasite infection of collared and uncollared elk (Cervus canadensis)
DownloadFall 2019
Ungulate ecology studies can focus on forage-predation interactions, but parasites also can have significant impacts on body condition, fecundity, and survival in ungulates. The effects of migration on parasite exposure are not well understood, but exposure may differ on allopatric summer ranges....
