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.

Spring 2021
Sand control devices (SCDs) such as Slotted Liners (SLs) have been playing a crucial role in sand production for Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) operations. Lately, optimizing and selecting the proper design of SCDs in the laboratory to quantify and qualify the SCD’s performance is gaining...

A Visibility and Safety Assessment of Urban Intersection Sight Distance using mobile LiDAR Data
DownloadFall 2021
This thesis focuses on intersection sight distance design, which is an extremely critical element in urban road design. Research has shown that providing adequate sight distance contributes to safe operation at intersections. Conversely, a restricted sight distance impacts drivers’ fields of...

Accelerating Polymer Degradation to Explore Potential Long Term Geotechnical Behaviour of Oil Sands Fine Tailings
DownloadFall 2021
Many tailings’ technologies used in the Athabasca oil sands require the use of chemical amendments such as synthetic flocculants to densify tailings by releasing water. It is anticipated that the synthetic flocculants will eventually degrade with time leaving only a mineral soil structure behind....
