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.

Enhancement of anaerobic biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons in contaminated groundwater: laboratory mesocosm studies
DownloadSpring 2010
This project was a part of a study to evaluate natural attenuation (NA) as a viable remedial option for petroleum hydrocarbon (PHC) contamination at upstream oil- and gas-contaminated sites in Alberta, Canada. Laboratory mesocosms were set up using groundwater and sediment materials collected...

Spring 2014
Cyclic steam stimulation (CSS) and steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) are the most commonly applied techniques used for heavy oil (HO) and bitumen (B) recovery. However, these methods, especially CSS, suffer from low recovery factor and production of highly viscous oil that requires...

Enhancements to Methods for Planning and Scheduling Fabrication Projects Utilizing Multiskilled Labour Resources
DownloadSpring 2023
In prefabrication and off-site construction, various multiskilled work crews need to be assembled to work on different workstations to process custom-designed work units, each having specific requirements for material handling, assembly connections, welding, etc. However, the frequent labour...

Enhancing Activity-on-Node Network Diagramming Technique for Modeling Interdependent Workflows in Planning Fabrication Projects
DownloadFall 2022
Fabrication operations produce made-to-order structural components (such steel elements or precast concrete) for multiple construction projects, which require crews to repeat their work at a number of workstations or locations in a special manufacturing facility. Scheduling these interdependent...

Enhancing Anaerobic Digestion Efficiency of High Strength Wastes with Different Solid Contents
DownloadSpring 2023
Anaerobic digestion has been considered as a sustainable technology to treat a wide range of organic wastes and to recovery value-added products such as methane and fatty acids. However, several factors such as low temperature and high solids content of substrates would lead to the imbalance of...

Enhancing Landslide Risk Management Through a Cost-Effective dGNSS Technology and a Method to Estimate Stability of Shore Landslides in Response to Climate Change
DownloadSpring 2024
Climate change is having an impact on Canada, resulting in variations in temperature, precipitation, and evaporation, among other aspects. These changes could be significant in Alberta since agriculture is a major factor in the social-economic development of the province. For example, the...
