William Fyfe was born on June 4, 1927, in Ashburton, New Zealand. He attended Otago University, New Zealand, where he earned a bachelor of science degree in geology in 1948, a master of science degree in 1949, and a Ph.D. in 1952. From 1952 to 1954, he was a Fulbright Scholar in geology at the University of California at Berkeley.
He had his first academic position at the University of California at Los Angeles for one year before moving back to Otago University as a reader in chemistry (1955-1958), and finally back to the University of California at Berkeley as a faculty member. In 1968, Fyfe was the recipient of a Royal Society Research Professorship in geochemistry at Manchester University in England. He was also a visiting professor at Imperial College in London, England. In 1972, he joined the faculty at the University of Western Ontario, Canada, in London as chair of the department, where he remained for the rest of his career. He was appointed dean of the faculty of science there from 1986 to 1990 and he is currently a professor emeritus.
William Fyfe married Patricia Walker in 1981, and they have three children.
