Seismicity of mining regions of Kazakhstan
Description: The course explores modern approaches to the study of seismicity in the mining regions of Kazakhstan. It covers the theoretical foundations and technologies for monitoring the stress–strain state of rock masses and engineering structures, with consideration of the seismic characteristics of these regions. The course includes instrumental, analytical, and practical approaches to the efficient use of resources for the prevention of geomechanical risks in mining areas. It emphasizes the application of practical skills to implement comprehensive organizational, managerial, technical, and technological measures for optimizing resource allocation, taking into account the seismicity of Kazakhstan’s mining regions and ensuring technospheric safety. Students will also gain knowledge in organizing the collection and preparation of source data for monitoring and analysis.
