seismograph A seismograph, or seismometer, is an instrument used to detect and record earthquakes. Generally, it consists of a mass attached to a fixed base. During an earthquake, the base moves and the mass does not. The motion of the base with respect to the mass is commonly transformed into an electrical voltage. The electrical voltage is recorded on paper, magnetic tape, or another recording medium.
Regents Scholarship Program The Regents of the University of California established the prestigious Regents Scholarship Award in 1962 to recognize incoming undergraduates of outstanding academic achievement and promise. At UCSB, the award is coordinated by the Office of Admissions.
The Governor's Scholars Award provided $1,000 scholarships to students who demonstrated high academic achievement on certain exams in the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) program in the 9th, 10th, or 11th grades as reported by the testing services that administered the exams each spring.
