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.

Assessing uncertainties related to the use of satellite remote sensing indices to estimate Gross Primary Production
DownloadSpring 2024
Methods to quantify Gross Primary Production (GPP) are classified into two categories: Eddy Covariance techniques (EC) and satellite data-driven. EC techniques can measure carbon fluxes directly, albeit with spatial constraints. Satellite data-driven methods are promising because they overcome...

Assessing White Matter Cortical Organization using Diffusion Tensor Imaging Post-Facial Reanimation Surgery
DownloadSpring 2012
The purpose of this study was to determine whether diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) could detect cortical differences between people post-facial reanimation surgery compared to matched controls. Five primary white matter tracts were analyzed for fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD)...
