Sea levels, Kea vs. Loa volcanoes, Sierra Nevada faulting, and carbonado diamond features

Six new Gesophere articles, posted online on Aug. 14, 2013, offer insight into a variety of geologic problems, from the minute to the massive. Authors investigate inclusion and porosity patterns in a 23-carat carbonado diamond; sea-level change offshore of New Jersey; a new age for Sierra Nevada faulting; a reconstruction of the dimensions and shape of the Great Basin over the past 500 million years; and deep-water perspectives on Hawaiian volcano growth.
