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.

Fall 2010
Sphingomyelin (SM), a sphingolipid that is concentrated in the extracellular leaflet of the plasma membrane, can interact with cholesterol to form more ordered “raft” domains. The hydrolysis of SM by sphingomyelinase (SMase) generates ceramide and may redistribute cholesterol molecules to other...

Most research into the effects of trout on lake ecosystems has occurred in alpine and other oligotrophic systems, often naturally fishless, where negative impacts are likely. In contrast, I investigated effects of...

Effects of Stocked Trout, Native Small-bodied Fish, and Winter Surface Aeration on Zooplankton in Small Boreal Foothills Lakes
DownloadFall 2012
Trout are commonly stocked into Alberta lakes to enhance angling opportunities. Many of these lakes contain native fish and require aeration to prevent trout winterkill. I assessed effects of trout and native fish on zooplankton abundance, biomass, size, community composition, and vertical...

The boreal forest is a major ecosystem in Alberta, subject to a number of anthropogenic disturbances such as oil and gas extraction. Prior to disturbance, top soils are salvaged for use in future reclamation projects; however, a large portion of this soil ends up in stockpiles, undergoing changes...
