The objective is to define the role of ice sheets in the climate system, particularly the links between changes in ice-sheet dynamics and climate changes in the past. It is based on the study of the composition of glacial sediments and revolves around the integration of field data with new data on the configuration of the ice sheet. He is also working on characterizing the evolution of glacial lakes that marked the last deglaciation by using isotopes in glacial deposits to identify their sedimentary provenance. In the marine area, sediment cores associated with the calving of icebergs from ice sheets and the drainage of glacial lakes are providing information on interactions between the continental and oceanic environments.

The focus of their work has been on the biogeochemistry of glacier ice, meltwaters, marine ice from the McMurdo Ice Shelf, and ice shelf melt-ponds. In parallel work, Sharp's research group is conducting a series of incubation experiments on ice from Lower Wright Glacier, rich in organic matter, to determine whether microbial populations there are involved in either heterotrophy or methanogenesis and, if so, to understand the environmental constraints on the rates at which these processes operate. Finally, they are using stable isotope, major ion and nutrient chemistry to investigate the combined influences of water source (snow, glacier ice, marine ice), weathering, microbial activity, and freezing-induced mineral precipitation on the chemistry of ice-shelf melt ponds.
