Joseph Kaplan (September 8, 1902 – October 3, 1991) was a Hungarian-born American physicist. Kaplan was notable for his studies of atmospheric phenomena, for his international activities in geophysics.Kaplan also participated in efforts to launch the first Earth satellite.Kaplan was a member of the National Academy of Sciences, a fellow of the Institute of Aeronautical Sciences,chairman of the U.S. National Committee for the International Geophysical Year,the founder and first director of the Institute of Geophysics at the University of California (later known as the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics),an aerospace adviser to Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower and Richard M. Nixon,a recipient of the Smithsonian Institution's Hodgkins Medal in 1967,the head of the Air Force's Air We

Kaplan was President of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) from 1963 to 1967. The Los Angeles Times said that Kaplan was "a pioneer in the chemistry and physics of the stratosphere".The Baltimore Sun called him "an expert on auroras and similar lights in the sky".In 1956, Kaplan warned of anthropogenic climate change. He was quoted in the New York Times saying that "during the next fifty years industrial burning of coal, oil and gas will produce 1,700 billion tons of new carbon dioxide. If all this carbon dioxide stays in the atmosphere, the slight general warming that has occurred in northern latitudes may be intensified." (en)
