This monograph examines the physical-mechanical and storage properties of the coal-rock mass in the Karaganda Basin, with the aim of enhancing the safety and efficiency of coal extraction. It substantiates the role of the surface layer and nanostructures of coal in the development of gas content and the propensity for sudden outbursts in coal seams. Furthermore, it presents models of gas-dynamic processes and methods for assessing the risk of sudden coal and gas outbursts. The work is intended for students enrolled in the following educational programs: 6B07201 – Geology and Exploration of Mineral Deposits, 7M07202 – Geology and Exploration of Mineral Deposits, and 8D07201 – Geology and Exploration of Mineral Deposits. It is also designed for scientific, engineering, and technical personnel working within mining and geological organizations and enterprises.
