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.

Spring 2014
Spatial interaction pattern mining is the process of discovering patterns that occur due to the interaction of Boolean features from a spatial domain. A positive interaction of a subset of features generates a co-location pattern, whereas a negative interaction of a subset of features generates a...

Over the last few years, the importance of place in the creation, and continuation of, Metis communities has comprised one of my primary research interests. Tied up in this idea of place are the key questions: why did Metis individuals and families decide to stay in the borderlands in the face of...

Spring 2020
Steam allocation is an important decision to be made for bitumen thermo-recovery using the Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) technique. This is due to the significant amount of steam requirement and often limited steam generation capacity. Steam-to-oil ratio (SOR) is an important parameter...

Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD):Influence of Geomechanical Processes on Absolute Permeability
DownloadFall 2013
Alberta is recognized by its vast oil sands reserves. The applications of established thermal processes, such as SAGD, are commonly required to achieve economic hydrocarbon recovery. Steam injection causes pore pressure and temperature changes that influence the reservoir geomechanical properties...

Steam Regeneration of Amine Impregnated Silica Based Sorbents for Post Combustion CO2 Capture
DownloadFall 2014
In this study, an experimental investigation of CO2 capture using amine functionalized mesoporous silica based sorbents was carried out. Polyethyleneimine (PEI) impregnated silica sorbents were synthesized and tested in TGA under different adsorption temperatures and partial pressures of CO2....
