James O. Berkland (1930–2016) was an American geologist known for his controversial claims of earthquake prediction. He predicted events like the 1989 Loma Prieta and 1994 Northridge earthquakes and proposed that certain individuals could be sensitive to earthquakes. Despite being featured as 'The Man Who Predicts Earthquakes' in a 2006 book, his methods lacked scientific validation and peer-review publication. His theories involved various factors such as tides and animal behavior, but his predictions have drawn skepticism from the scientific community, with some dismissing him as a crank.
