 Dr. LeMasurier's work includes studying the origin and evolution of Cenozoic volcanic rocks, the nature of the tectonic environment of volcanism, and the volcanic record of glacial history.
-In 1968, as part of the Marie Byrd Land Survey II field survey team, Wesley LeMasurier conducted an in-depth geologic survey of [[Mount Takahe]]. During that survey, numerous samples of igneous rocks were collected, with most of them being pieces of basalt. LeMasurier noted that the [[Jaron Cliffs]] were inaccessible to the survey team, but were most likely composed of tuff breccia.
 In 1990, after conducting a survey of [[Mount Berlin]], he declared the volcano to be "potentially active." Later, in 1994, during field work around [[Mount Siple]], Dr. LeMasurier knocked off a piece of rock from the mountain and sent it to Ruth Siple, the widow of [[Paul A. Siple]], for whom the mountain was named.
