Successful earthquake prediction is often deemed impossible. At least that is what I deduced having read Susan Hough’s book ‘Predicting the Unpredictable: The Tumultuous Science ofEarthquake Prediction’, which is a truly fascinating read covering struggles faced by seismologists who endeavour to accurately forecast the next Big One. A rather unusual chapter in the book covered alternative methods of earthquake prediction; I found the theory that animal behaviour has been used to foresee upcoming earthquake events particularly fascinating. For this reason, I have attached a video that narrates geologist Jim Berkland’s unusual methods.
