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.

Transport and Transfer of Total Dissolved Gases in the Lower Columbia River Hydropower System
DownloadSpring 2020
Hydropower facilities can generate elevated or supersaturated total dissolved gases (TDGs) during spill operations that can impose environmental and ecological risk to downstream habitat, particularly to fishes causing gas bubble disease and mortality. Assessment of such impact and management of...

Fall 2019
In hydraulic fracturing, resin-coated ceramic proppants can be added to fracturing fluid as an agent for propping the fractures. Resin-coated ceramic proppants have several advantages compared to the traditional silica sands and ceramic proppants. Resin-coated ceramic proppants can withstand much...

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...
