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.

Forward Osmosis as an Approach to Manage Oil Sands Produced Water: Membrane Fouling and Organic Removal
DownloadFall 2017
Currently, large amounts of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) are stored in tailing ponds, leaving its environmental impact a significant concern. To better manage OSPW, numerous treatment approaches have been investigated including adsorption, advanced oxidation and biological treatment,...

Fractionation of oil sands process water and fractions influence and degradation by advanced oxidation processes
DownloadFall 2019
One of the most serious issues associated with the oil sands production is the generation of large volumes of oil sands process water (OSPW). OSPW is a highly complex mixture of sands, silts, salts, heavy metals, and refractory organic compounds. Currently, OSPW is retained on site in large...

Framework for a User-centric Post-design Space Heating Energy Management System for Multi-family Residential Buildings in Cold Regions
DownloadFall 2017
Building construction and operation are collectively responsible for over a third of the world’s energy consumption. Space heating is the highest energy consumer in the operation of residential buildings in cold regions; in order to reduce energy consumption within the building sector, energy...
