Trevor Lloyd was born on May 4, 1906, in London, England. He graduated from the University of Bristol in 1929. From 1931-1938, he taught geography in Winnipeg, Canada, public schools. He received his Ph.D. from Clark University in Worcester, MA in 1940. In 1942, Lloyd was hired by Dartmouth College as an assistant professor of geography, and was promoted to full professor in 1944. He left Dartmouth College for McGill University in 1959, where he served as Professor of Human Geography until his retirement in 1977.

Lloyd also headed northern studies and research groups and was the first editor of "Arctic." Although he wrote several books including "Canada and her Neighbors" (1947), and "A Geographer's World" (1968), most of his works on the Arctic were articles in journals, technical reports, reviews and other short pieces.
