Seismologists or geophysical scientists.
Scientists study volcanoes an earthquakes in order to better understand them and therefore help predict potential dangers. There is also the matter of simple human curiosity.
In order to try to predict a volcanic eruption, scientists monitor the distribution of earthquakes near the volcano, the quantity, temperature, and composition of gas emissions, and look for deformation of the volcano itself. All of these can be used to determine if magma is moving underground, how close it is to the surface, and even how obstructed it is.
I think it is also used for detecting tsunamis. it is used to detect and record earthquakes!!! teh seismographic data has enabled geologists to map the distribution of earthquakes.

There are many signs we can lean on in regards to an upcomming event. The problem is that these signs are not failproof. We are aware of many of the dynamics and mechanichs leading to an earthquake, but we do not know yet what the final drop is. We try to make statistics, but statistics fail or is inaccurate at its best. We know that earthquake one place may set off a chainreaction of earthquakes in other places. There are simply too many variables in the puzzle in order to make accurate predictions. On the lighter side: Some scientists have actually made machines than can push forward an earthquake. The idea behind is to release tension in earths crust before it build up too much. Instead of having a lvl 7 or 8 earthquake, this machine can set it off much before, and we would maybe have only a couple of lvl 4 or 5 earthquakes instead. Governments however are quite reluctant to allow further use of this machine.

They do Not know how to predict when and where Earthquakes will occur in adequate time to give people enough warning in order to save lives.

Engineers and Scientists use Newton's laws and their resulting equations, in order to help predict the motion of objects on the macroscopic level. They use them to predict where an object will be at a given time under certain initial conditions.
Although we are not able to predict individual earthquakes, the world's largest earthquakes do have a clear spatial pattern.
