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.

The Biomicrofluidics of Microbiologically Induced Calcite Precipitation Mediated by Sporosarcina pasteurii
DownloadSpring 2018
I studied a particular bacterium Sporosarcina pasteurii (S. Pasteurii) which has a unique ability to cause chemical precipitation in an aqueous medium in the presence of certain molecules like urea. These precipitated chemicals can go deep inside a network of micro-scale pores and cause clogging....

Spring 2020
Steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) is an in-situprocess where an injection well and a production well are used to recover bitumen from oil sands that are past the point of viability for open mining techniques. During operation, sand control technologies are used on the wells to ensure the...

The Design and Validation of a Spacecraft Orbit and Attitude Simulation Environment in MATLAB/Simulink
DownloadFall 2018
CubeSats and Aerodynamic Attitude and Orbit Control Systems (AAOCS) orbit in Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) where the effect of aerodynamic force and torque is significant. In the mission analysis and design phases of CubeSat missions and satellite missions employing AAOCS, aerodynamic...

The Design of an Experimental Model for the 3D Characterization of Airflow in Counterflow Cooling Towers
DownloadSpring 2020
The complexities and inherent 3D nature of airflow within cooling towers is often neglected in cooling tower analysis, and studies that attempt to investigate such air flow patterns are generally invalidated with regard to the 3D flows they attempt to simulate. This work outlines the design and...
