This experimental study aimed to investigate the potential control of microstructural-mineralogical characteristics on thermal properties and its relation with the deformational behaviour in mild to high temperature (25°–800°C) regime of coal-bearing sandstone from an underground coal mine fire region. Barakar sandstone from Jharia Coalfield, India, one of the world's largest underground coal mine fire regions, was chosen. The thermal parameters and their relations to the mineralogical, microstructural, and damage characteristics of Barakar sandstone have been discussed. Thermal conductivity (λ), thermal diffusivity (κ), and specific heat capacity (Cp) of heat-treated samples were determined using the transient plane source method. Additionally, detailed petrography, scanning electron microscopy, and electron probe micro-analyser were used to understand the thermal effect on mineralogy and microstructures. The deformational behaviour with elevated temperature was investigated through the universal testing machine. The obtained results suggest three characteristic temperature regimes: mild temperature regime (25°–300°C), transitional temperature regime (300º–500°C) and high temperature regime (500º–800°C). Moreover, prediction models for thermal properties have also been developed using multi-gene genetic programming (MGGP), considering physical properties as input parameters. In view of experimental constraints to determine the thermos-elastic properties of a rock due to tedious experimental processes, the proposed prediction models shall be very useful to indirectly estimate the thermal properties of sandstone rocks using easily determined physical parameters. The outcome of the present study may be useful to understand the subsidence induced by underground coalmine fire, which is a
