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.

In vitro bioassay monitoring to assess baseline conditions prior to potential discharge of treated oil sands process water in receiving aquatic environments
DownloadFall 2022
The Alberta oil sands is one of the largest oil reserves in the world. However, there are concerns regarding the potential environmental and human health impacts of the oil sands development. During oil sands mining, large volumes of oil sands process-affected water (OSPW) is produced, which can...

In-Situ Energy Performance Analysis of A Hybrid-Fuel Heating System in A Net-Zero Ready Duplex
DownloadFall 2023
The growing global population and increase in energy usage have led to a rise in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The residential sector in Canada accounts for 17% of total secondary energy consumption and 14% of GHG emissions. To reduce energy consumption, operational costs, and GHG emissions,...

Spring 2013
Accurate measurement of in situ stress using surface-drilled deep boreholes is a challenge in high stress regimes in which both horizontal stresses exceed the vertical stress. For such stress regimes core damage and core disking is often observed and Accurate measurement of in situ stress using...

Rodriguez-de la Torre, Rhamid Hortensia
Since oil and gas production from conventional fields is decreasing, the produc-tion of unconventional hydrocarbon reservoirs is becoming imperative, where geo-mechanical responses play an important role. This research presents a methodology that starts exploring the inclusion of geomechanics in...

Inclusion of Hydro-Mechanical Behaviour of Discrete Fracture Networks in Coupled Reservoir Geomechanical Simulations
DownloadSpring 2023
Discontinuities are one of the most prominent features of the Earth’s upper crust, these are the result of the action of different geological, mechanical, thermal and chemical activities over millions of years. The term rock mass was created to describe the in situ medium containing intact rock...

Incorporating climate change uncertainty into transportation infrastructure investment decisions
DownloadFall 2019
The Mackenzie River is a historically important transportation corridor of the Northwest Territories, allowing for barge freight transport to remote communities throughout its length. However, more recently, climate change has affected the duration of the Mackenzie River’s navigational season,...

Incorporating Evapotranspiration of Plants in Thermal Modelling of Greenhouses in Cold Regions
DownloadFall 2020
The energy consumption of greenhouse in cold regions, especially for the space heating, is still large and needs to be diminished either by reducing heat loss or by increasing the percentage of renewable energy usage. In order to predict the performance of different energy-saving designs, a...

Spring 2022
Human error is a leading cause of collisions on highways. Thus, if the aim is to reduce collision rates and keep drivers safe, it is necessary to investigate the factors that influence human mistakes and develop mitigation strategies to prevent these errors from occurring. One crucial approach to...
