====Department of Biology==== The College of Science's Department of Biological Sciences supports interdisciplinary research in environmental science, ecology, and molecular biology through a range of specialized facilities. The Life Sciences Complex includes more than {{convert|176000|sqft|m2|abbr=on}} of [[LEED]] [[LEED#Gold certification|Gold-certified]] research space, including rooftop greenhouses and one of the nation's largest university aquatics labs. The department also operates the Water Research Field Station and Artificial Stream Facility, among the few in the U.S. designed to assess the ecological impact of agrichemicals under controlled field conditions. UNT researchers maintain global collaborations, including a freshwater research and environmental philosophy field station established in 2011 in the [[Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve]] in [[Chile]]. UNT's work in [[limnology]] dates back to the 1930s under pioneer Joseph Kean Gwynn Silvey (1907β1989), and continues today through its aquatic ecology labs and the Institute of Applied Science.{{Sfn|UNT: "Water Research {{nowrap|...}},"|2025}}{{Sfn|UNT: "Research Facilities,"|2025}} The Water Research Field Station and the Artificial Stream Facility are located in [[Ponder, Texas|Ponder]], about 10 miles west of UNT's main campus, near the university's Rafes Urban Astronomy Center and Soil Conservation Service Site Number 12 Reservoir.
