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.

The Geochemical Evolution of Oil Sands Tailings Pond Seepage, Resulting from Diffusive Ingress Through Underlying Glacial Till Sediments
DownloadFall 2012
Oil sands tailings are comprised of sands, silts, clays, and process-affected water (OSPW). The latter includes high concentrations of dissolved ions, as well as organic contaminants, making the water toxic to aquatic organisms. In Northern Alberta, tailings ponds are being constructed on...

Fall 2012
An ecological risk assessment for the Athabasca River was done. We did a review of literature pertaining to ecological risk assessment in the Athabasca River. The focus of the risk assessment was on the ecological impact of low dissolved oxygen (DO), because mainly ice-cover and pulp mill...

The Impact of Semi-continuous and Alternating Microbial Feeding Patterns on Methane Yield from UASB Reactors
DownloadSpring 2023
The anaerobic treatment of wastewater is considered a promising technology for simultaneous organic matter removal and energy recovery. Compared to aerobic digestion, anaerobic digestion conserves energy and is cost-effective in handling high-strength wastewater and wastes. However, the high...

The impact of various ozone pretreatment doses on the performance of endogenous microbial communities for the remediation of oils sands process-affected water
DownloadFall 2015
In this study, the effects of different ozone pretreatment doses on the performance of endogenous microbial populations in degrading naphthenic acids (Nash and Traver) for the treatment of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) were evaluated. The results showed that ozonation enhanced the...

The Influence of EPS Conditioning Films on Pseudomonas aeruginosa Adhesion to Solid Surfaces
DownloadFall 2010
Bacterial adhesion to inert surfaces in aquatic environments is highly dependent on the surface properties of the substratum, which could be altered significantly by the formation of conditioning films. The impacts of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and its several representative...

Fall 2023
In river freeze-up periods, small disc-shaped frazil ice forms during supercooling in turbulent river flow. Under continuous cooling, these particles collide and freeze to form frazil flocs and entrain suspended sediments. Sediment-laden flocs might rise to the surface and freeze into frazil...
