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.

Heavy Oil/Bitumen Recovery by Alternate Injection of Steam and Solvent (Hydrocarbon and CO2) in Fractured Carbonates and Oilsands
DownloadFall 2013
The world energy demand is constantly increasing and fossil fuels are still by far the main energy resource that supplies the world energy consumption market, therefore increasing oil recovery from all types of reservoirs is an important matter. The burning of fossil fuels for energy purposes, on...

Spring 2021
Oxygen presence during thermal desorption of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from adsorbent can promote heel build-up and loss of adsorption capacity, which reduces the performance of adsorbent in a cyclic adsorption/desorption process. The heel build-up, in some cases, could be attributed to...

Spring 2015
Adsorption is the most common method for controlling volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emission from automotive painting process. However, unwanted accumulation of adsorbate during cycling (heel buildup) is a common challenge in this process. The objective of this research is to identify the...

Heterogeneity Consideration and Upscaling of elastic properties in coupled geomechanical flow simulation of SAGD
DownloadFall 2013
Geomechanical processes occurring during steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) thermal recovery influence petrophysical and rock mechanical properties of both reservoir and caprock formations. While geostatistical techniques provide multiple equi probable geological realizations for...

Fall 2020
Stope layout optimization is a critical process for the evaluation and optimization of underground mining operations. Conventionally, stopes layouts are either planned manually or optimized using deterministic methods. Developing stochastic approaches to stope optimization is valuable due to the...

Fall 2013
Landslides include various forms of geological mass movements such as falls, slides and flows under the force of gravity. Predictions of landslide kinematics and dynamics require knowledge of flow behaviour and mathematical modeling. Research into the flow behaviour of granular materials has...

Fall 2011
This research was undertaken to study the performance of paraffinic solvents at higher temperatures for heavy oil/bitumen recovery. Heavy oil or bitumen saturated glass bead packs, Berea sandstone and carbonate cores were used in the experiments to represent different types of pore structures,...
