About

M. V. Kurlenya is a leading figure in mining geomechanics and deep-level mineral extraction, with a research focus on enhancing safety and efficiency in underground resource development. His major contributions center on the stimulation of underground degassing in coal seams, where he pioneered the use of hydraulic fracturing methods to improve methane drainage and reduce explosion risks. His 2017 paper on this topic, which has garnered 28 citations, presents innovative solutions for borehole sealing and transverse rock fracturing, addressing critical barriers to effective degassing. Kurlenya has also shaped strategic research directions for deep-level mining in Siberia and the Russian Far East, as outlined in his 2021 work (6 citations), which proposes a comprehensive R&D program for analyzing subsoil physical states and modernizing mining machinery. His work is notable for integrating practical engineering challenges with fundamental geomechanical analysis, offering actionable frameworks for safer extraction at greater depths. With a career dedicated to advancing mining technology in extreme geological conditions, Kurlenya’s research continues to influence both academic inquiry and industrial practice in Russia’s mineral-rich regions.
