William M. Kaula (May 19, 1926 – April 1, 2000) was an Australian-born American geophysicist and professor at the University of California, Los Angeles.Kaula was most notable for his contributions to geodesy, including using early satellites to produce maps of Earth's gravity.He was a participant in several NASA missions, as a team leader on Apollo 15, 16, and 17.The National Academies Press called Kaula "the father of space-based geodesy".The Los Angeles Times called him "one of the leading planetary physicists of the last four decades".He was a recipient of the Whitten Medal of the American Geophysical Union and the Brouwer Award of the American Astronomical Society.He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences for his scientific contributions notwithstanding his not having a doctor
