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.

Deposition and sea level fluctuations during Miocene times, Grand Cayman, British West Indies
DownloadFall 2012
The Lower to Middle Miocene Cayman Formation on Grand Cayman, which is part of the Bluff Group, is at least 130 m thick. The mostly dolomitized Cayman Formation is herein divided into a ‘limestone member’ and ‘dolostone member’ as limestone is found in the formation in the central part of Grand...

Spring 2015
The carbonate succession on Grand Cayman and Cayman Brac, located close to each other in the Caribbean Sea, includes the Bluff Group that is formed of the unconformity-bounded Brac Formation (early Oligocene), Cayman Formation (middle Miocene), and Pedro Castle Formation (early Pliocene), which...

Origin of Island Dolostone: Case Study of Cayman Formation (Miocene), Grand Cayman, British West Indies
DownloadFall 2017
Grand Cayman is located on an isolated fault block that is part of the Cayman Ridge that defines the southern margin of the North American Plate. The exposed part of the Oligocene to Pleistocene carbonate succession that forms the island comprises the Bluff Group (Brac Formation, Cayman...

Porosity and permeability in the Graminia Formation, Upper Devonian Winterburn Group in the Germain Field, northeastern Alberta
DownloadFall 2014
The Upper Devonian Graminia Formation (Winterburn Group) found in the Germain Field of northeastern Alberta includes the Blueridge Member (Frasnian) and the Upper Graminia Member (Famennian). A green silty-shale paleosol overlies the formation in this area. The bitumen-bearing dolostones of this...

Fall 2009
Relict Holocene carbonate spring deposits containing diverse biotic and abiotic depositional textures are present at Fall Creek cold sulphur springs, Alberta, Fairmont Hot Springs, British Columbia, and Hot Creek cold springs, British Columbia. The relict deposits are formed mainly of...

Spring 2014
The Ironshore Formation, a Pleistocene limestone succession found on Grand Cayman, is formed of six unconformity-bounded units (A to F) that developed in response to transgressive-regressive cycles. Highstands led to deposition whereas lowstands led to diagenetic change in the earlier deposited...

Variations in climatic conditions from the Cayman Islands through stable isotope and element analysis from corals and sediment cores; a 500,000 year record
DownloadFall 2020
The Caribbean region is particularly important to understanding global climate change and feedback systems because the tropics are the primary source of heat and water vapor for the atmosphere. The Caribbean region, however, is a relatively understudied area in terms of tracking climate change...
