Harold Jeffreys attended school at Fatfield then, in 1903, he was awarded a scholarship to attend Rutherford College in Newcastle- upon- Tyne. In 1907 he went to Armstrong College, also in Newcastle, which later became Newcastle University. At the time Jeffreys entered the College it was a part of Durham University. There he studied mathematics, physics, chemistry and geology, graduating in 1910 with distinction in mathematics. He went to St John's College, Cambridge after leaving Newcastle, having obtained one of four mathematics scholarships. Among his teachers at Cambridge to exert a strong influence on him were H F Baker , T J d'A Bromwich , R Webb, A Berry and E Cunningham .

He joined the Meteorological Office from 1917 to 1922 where he worked on hydrodynamical problems. He returned to Cambridge and he lectured there in mathematics until 1932. Jeffreys was to remain on the staff at Cambridge, but not as a mathematician. From 1932 to 1946 he taught geophysics there, then he became Plumian Professor of Astronomy.

    Sir Harold Jeffreys is a world authority in theoretical geophysics. He was born in Northumbria (the northeast of England) and educated at Armstrong College (now the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne) and Cambridge University. He is now a Senior Fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge. He has published over 300 scientific papers and is the author of 7 books, including Theory of Probability and Mathematical Physics (with his wife, Lady Bertha Swirles Jeffreys). Sir Harold has made innumerable theoretical contributions to seismology. Many of these are documented in his book The Earth , which has been published in six editions. His papers have recently been collated by Gordon and Breach (Publishers) into six volumes, Collected Papers of Sir Harold Jeffreys on Geophysics and Other Sciences . Some idea of the breadth of this research can be seen from the individual volume titles: "Theoretical and Observational Seismology," "Observational Seismology," "Gravity," "Dissipation of Energy and Thermal History," "Astronomy and Geophysics," and "Mathematics, Probability and Miscellaneous Other Sciences." Sir Harold has also served as Director of the International Seismological Summary (ISS). Among the honors bestowed upon him by various scientific organizations are Fellow of the Royal Society, Royal and Copley Medals of the Royal Society, Foreign Associate of the U.S. National Academy, Bowie Medalist of the American Geophysical Union, Medalist of the Seismological Society of America, and the Vetlesen Prize.
