Crump indicated she would map Shapeless Mountain as part of a planned Ph.D. thesis on the Mawson Volcanobreccia.

At the request of Dr. L.D, McGinnis, the co-ordinator of the Dry Valley Drilling Project (DVDP), Adams and Cole were included in the VUWAE programme. Adams was required as an assistant geologist to aid the site geologists of DVDP while Cole was expected to work with Kyle.
