Jim Berkland is a geologist studying earthquake prediction. He claims to have developed a method for predicting earthquakes, and offers his predictions through media appearances and publications. Before his retirement, Berkland worked for the U.S. Geological Survey, the Bureau of Reclamation and Santa Clara County, California. He has published over fifty scientific papers. Jim Berkland studied geology at the University of California, Berkeley, earning the B.A. degree in 1958. Thereafter he worked for the U.S. Geological Survey while pursuing graduate study. In 1964, he took a position at the Bureau of Reclamation. After further graduate study, he taught for a year at Appalachian State University 1972-73, then returned to California to work as County Geologist for Santa Clara County from 1973 until he retired in 1994. In an interview published on October 13, 1989, one day before the start of Baseball's 1989 World Series, Berkland predicted a major earthquake would occur in the San Francisco Bay Area in the near future. The Loma Prieta earthquake occurred on October 17, just before the start of the third game of the Series. Berkland claims that government officials told him not to make any more predictions, fearing mass panic, and he was suspended for two months from his Santa Clara County geology position in late October, 1989. Berkland predicted an earthquake for January 9-14, 2009. Interviewed on Fox News in March 2011, Berkland predicted an earthquake for some time between March 19 and March 26, 2011. He cited as factors the highest tides in 18 years and the proximity of the moon, suggesting that the quake will most likely strike on Saturday, March 19, 2011. Berkland has issued over 50 publications in geology. He is a member of the Association of Engineering Geologists, the Peninsula Geological Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute. He is a Fellow of the Geological Society of America, and has taught geology at San Jose State University. - www.syzygyjob.com
