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.

Elastic Least-squares Reverse Time Migration and Elastic Gauss-Newton Full-waveform Inversion
DownloadFall 2018
With the fast development of high-performance computing resources, imaging and inversion techniques in the exploration geophysics community are moving from simplified methods to more complex methods that honour as far as possible the physics of wave propagation. Multiparameter imaging and...

Fall 2018
Elastic modeling is essential for mechanical behavior of biopolymer spherical shells [such as ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs), spherical viruses and enzymes] characterized by high structural heterogeneity and geometric imperfection. The effects of structural heterogeneity and geometric...

Elastic Modulus Prediction of Polymer Nanocomposites: Production and Characterization of Cellulose Nanocrystal Reinforced Polyamide Nanocomposites
DownloadFall 2022
Polymer nanocomposites can fulfill their potential use in engineering applications as researchers and engineers gain a better understanding of nanocomposites’ modelling, production, and characterization methods. Recent polymer nanocomposite studies point out that existing modelling tools either...

Spring 2014
Sedimentary rocks are an important research topic since such rocks are associated to sources of ground water as well as oil, gas, and mineral reservoirs. In this work, elastic and physical properties of a variety of sedimentary samples that include glacial sediments, carbonates, shales, one...
