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.

Workflow for Sand Control Testing of Injection Wells in Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD)
DownloadSpring 2020
This research aims at tackling a specific production engineering problem in sand retention testing (SRT). One common practice of operational oil companies is to prevent sanding by deploying standalone screens (SAS). SAS consists of slotted liners (SL), wire wrap screens (WWS), and punched screens...

Yield Criterion for Sequentially Excavated Tunnels in Heavily Overconsolidated Fissured Soils
DownloadSpring 2015
This thesis presents the formulation of geo-mechanical design parameters using a combination of laboratory and insitu test results in the heavily overconsolidated cohesive till formation in the city of Edmonton. These data were then used in the design of the recently constructed North LRT twin...

ZVI-loaded Biochar Composite for Effective Peroxymonosulfate Activation: Application in the Removal of Naphthenic Acids from Real Oil Sands Process Water
DownloadSpring 2024
Vasquez Aldana, Adriana Marcela
Oil Sands Process Water (OSPW) is a byproduct generated during the extraction of bitumen from oil sands deposits in Northern Alberta, Canada. This matrix presents a critical environmental and industrial challenge due to its toxic nature, primarily associated with its complex mixture of...

Zwitterionic Surfactant for EOR in Tight Carbonate Reservoir: Physico-Chemical Interaction and Microfluidic Study
DownloadFall 2019
Recently, during surfactant aided recovery processes for unconventional reservoirs, carboxybetaine based zwitterionic surfactants (CnDmCB) have attracted attention due to their good tolerance to high saline produced water, remarkable water solubility, and ultra-low interfacial tension (IFT) at...
