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.

High-Resolution Geochemical Analysis of Controls on Organic Matter Accumulation in the Middle-Upper Devonian Horn River Group
DownloadFall 2020
Organic carbon-rich mudstones, or ‘black shales’, record highly anomalous perturbations of local or earth systems at critical times in earth history. Paleoenvironmental parameters, including primary productivity, redox conditions, and sedimentation rate, have been widely recognized as the...

High-Resolution Imaging of the Mantle Transition Zone beneath Japan from Sparse Receiver Functions
DownloadFall 2012
A new approach to estimate high-resolution receiver functions using a simultaneous iterative time-domain sparse deconvolution is presented. To test its functionality and reliability, several experiments were conducted with synthetic and real seismological data. Furthermore, this technique was...

High-resolution sequence stratigraphy in a Mesoproterozoic intracratonic sag basin, the Tombador Formation, Chapada Diamantina Basin, Brazil
DownloadFall 2015
Studies applying sequence stratigraphy to the Precambrian sedimentary record have been limited and have focused on low-resolution applications due to problems in preservation, deformation/metamorphism, and diagenesis. However, higher-resolution studies are possible where geometry, facies...

High-resolution Sequence Stratigraphy of the Southwestern Llanos Basin, Colombia: An integrated analysis
DownloadFall 2024
This research aims to enhance the understanding of the Upper Cretaceous sequence in the southwestern area of the Llanos Foreland Basin, Colombia. The core of this study revolves around the analysis of seven cored locations, which cover nearly the entire Cretaceous sequence. In addition to core...

High-Resolution Stereoscopic Visualization of Pediatric Echocardiography Data on Microsoft HoloLens 2
DownloadSpring 2024
Pediatric valve surgery typically requires cardiopulmonary bypass and cardioplegic arrest, which can have adverse effects on both post-operative recovery and long-term neurological function. However, non-bypass surgical techniques have limitations in pediatric patients, particularly due to...

Spring 2011
This thesis is an exploration into the design of configurable analog block (CAB) for field programmable analog arrays (FPAAs) designed in modern complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technologies. Specifically, this thesis develops a single configurable analog block (CAB) using an...

Spring 2017
In submerged arc welding (SAW), the welding takes place under a flux bed. The physical phenomena taking place under the flux bed is crucial in determining the quality of the final weld. The presence of the flux layer prevents the direct visibility of the weld zone during welding; this limitation...
