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.

Assessing Ecosystem Productivity Through the Integration of Micrometeorology and Optical Remote Sensing
DownloadSpring 2020
The main goal of this thesis is to contribute to the growing body of scientific work by exploring mechanisms of ecosystem productivity through the integration of remote sensing and micrometeorological data. This was done throughout by (i) identifying the environmental mechanisms affecting...

This study explored ways of integrating optical and flux measurements in the context of the Light Use Efficiency (LUE) model in an alfalfa (Medicago sativa) field. Narrow-band spectrometers and low cost two-band radiometers provided alternate ways to measure NDVI and estimate the APAR term of the...

Spring 2022
Alberta oil sands tailings ponds are under the concern of releasing greenhouse gases (GHGs) including carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4). In this research, Eddy Covariance (EC) technique was used to measure GHGs emissions from an oil sands tailings pond. A tower with EC instruments mounted on...

Fall 2017
The focus of the research presented here was to directly measure actual evaporation rates from a tailings surface using a micrometeorological technique known as the eddy covariance method. Depending on the results, it would be determined whether current drying models need to be calibrated with...
