Robert Phillip Sharp was born on June 24, 1911, in Oxnard, California. He is the firstborn son of Julian and Alice Sharp. He spent his childhood in Oxnard, then a small farming community of about 5,000 people.
Sharp was admitted to the California Institute of Technology in 1930. His original intention was to become an engineer. However, during his sophomore year he became fascinated with geology after taking a required course in that field. Having discovered what would be his life's work, he completed his undergraduate studies in geology at Cal Tech in 1934. After spending a year as a graduate student at Cal Tech, Sharp was accepted at Harvard University, and went on to earn his Ph.D. in geology in 1938.
During 1937, his final year at Harvard, Sharp was the youngest member of a geological research expedition to the Grand Canyon of scholars from the Carnegie Institute of Washington and the California Institute of Technology. This expedition was organized and led by Dr. Ian Campbell, a Cal Tech geologist who was acquainted with Sharp. It was Campbell who suggested that Sharp be invited to join the expedition. Harvard University agreed to allow Sharp a traveling fellowship for this purpose.
During the two-month boat trip down the Colorado River, Sharp took copious notes on the geology of the Grand Canyon. Using this research material, he later published two papers about Precambrian unconformities. Another field notebook, which Sharp created at Campbell's request, is titled "On Archean Rocks."
Robert Sharp's published materials regarding the geology of the Grand Canyon include the following: "A Cambrian slide breccia, Grand Canyon, Arizona." American Journal Science, 1940, 238.688-672; "Ep-Archean and Ep-Algonkian erosion surfaces, Grand Canyon, Arizona." Geoeological Society America Bulletin, 1940, 51:1235-1270.
After completing his doctorate, Sharp served in the U.S. Air Force from 1943 through 1946. Shortly after his military service, he was employed as a professor of geology at Cal Tech, a position he retained until 1978. At the date of this note he resides in California with his wife, Jean. He has referred to the 1937 Grand Canyon expedition as the best trip of his life.
The seeds for the 1937 Carnegie-Cal Tech trip were initially planted by vertebrate paleontologist John Campbell Merriam, Director of the Carnegie Institute of Washington, who recognized a need for a systematic study of the geology of the Grand Canyon. He had selected several different geologists to examine different aspects of the Canyon: to Edwin McKee, the Park Naturalist of Grand Canyon, went Paleozoic rocks. Norman Ethan Allen Hinds, a professor at the University of California-Berkeley (where Merriam was once a faculty member), was assigned the older pre-Paleozoic. Finally, to Ian Campbell and John Maxson of the California Institute of Technology went the responsibility of the igneous and metamorphic rocks that compose the inner gorges of the Grand Canyon.
To this end Ian Campbell organized the river trip, it being quite difficult to study the rocks of the inner gorge in any other fashion. In addition to Maxson, he added Robert P. Sharp, who was working on his Ph.D. thesis at Harvard University; John T. "Jack" Stark of Northwestern University, and Edwin McKee, who joined the trip at the Bass Trail. The three boatmen were Frank B. Dodge, rowing the Fairchild, Owen R. Clark in the Collier, and Merril Spencer at the oars of the Eliel.
The trip launched on October 11, 1937 at Lees Ferry, taking out at Pierces Ferry on November 25, covering a distance of some 280 river miles. Sharp recorded his findings in detail in both written and photographic format. The photographs in the three albums are referenced in his three field notebooks, which are housed in the Carnegie-Cal Tech Manuscript collection.
The Carnegie-Cal Tech trip is perhaps best known as the trip which was passed by Haldane "Buzz" Holmstrom on his remarkable solo voyage through the Grand Canyon. Also of note is that the Carnegie-Cal Tech group was the last to see two of the largest and most intimidating rapids on the Colorado: Separation and Lava Cliff. By the next year, both had been drowned out by the rising waters of Lake Mead.
