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.

Spatial variations of total and dissolved trace elements and their distributions amongst major colloidal forms along and across the Lower Athabasca River
DownloadFall 2020
The Athabasca River (AR) is the longest river in Alberta with a wide variety of natural and potential anthropogenic inputs. The purpose of this study was to quantify the spatial variation of trace element (TE) concentrations and forms in this aquatic system. Water samples were gathered along a...

Fall 2011
Timely, accurate predictions of potential influenza epidemics are essential for healthcare providers and policy makers as the epidemics can result in heavy demands for health services. Current statistical modeling of surveillance data has limited prediction abilities and often fails to respond...

Spatiotemporal characterization of post-stroke myelin density changes and their contribution to functional recovery using a novel label-free in vivo imaging technique
DownloadSpring 2020
Myelin is an essential component of nervous system functioning: it supports axonal metabolism, enables saltatory conduction to allow for precise timing across cortical networks to regulate information processing and is increasingly recognized as an integral type of adult experience-dependent...

Spatiotemporal Patterns and Population Characteristics of Harvested Wolverine (Gulo gulo) in Yukon
DownloadSpring 2017
Wolverines (Gulo gulo) are harvested for fur in Yukon, Canada, but little is known about the sustainability of their harvest. In the absence of population data, harvest management relies on harvest data to assess the efficacy of regulations and harvest sustainability. I examined the...

Spatiotemporal variability of the fraction of Photosynthetically Active Radiation (fPAR) in a mixed coniferous forest using Wireless sensor networks
DownloadSpring 2022
Contemporary climate change has become rapid, and its impacts affect forest growth and productivity directly and indirectly through changes in temperature, precipitation, carbon dioxide, and other factors. Forest ecosystem plays an essential role in carbon exchange between the atmosphere and...

Spatiotemporal Variability of Trends and Anomaly Patterns in the Surface Albedo and Temperature of Glaciers in the Canadian Cordillera and Alaska
DownloadSpring 2024
The global average surface air temperature experienced an increase of approximately 0.5°C over the course of the 20th century. Consequently, numerous glaciers worldwide have undergone a reduction in size, and this phenomenon is especially prominent among mountain glaciers, such as those found...
