Dr. Gordon has authored and co-authored numerous publications and has served as a consultant to many environmental agencies and water works districts. Among his many publications are Stanford, B.D.; Pisarenko, A.N.; Snyder, S.A.; Gordon, G.; a contributing author to "Perchlorate, Bromate, and Chlorate in Hypochlorite Solutions: Guidelines for Utilities", J. Am. Water Works Assoc., 2011, 103 (6), 71-83. (Note in Context: At the AWWA Annual Conference in Dallas, Texas, the authors of this paper were notified that this paper had been selected as the American Water Works Association 2012 Publications Award winner for papers published by the Association in the year 2011. This Award recognizes "the most notable contribution to the science of public water supply development". It was voted as the best overall paper chosen from among the top papers from each of the AWWA Research Divisions over the previous twelve months.) Dr. Gordon also received the Morton Klein Award from the International Ozone Association. "The Klein Medallion" recognizes contributions of the highest order to the International Ozone Association in commemoration of the clear vision, diplomatic proficiency, and unparalleled leadership such as characterized the life and contributions of Morton J. Klein.
During his 45-year research and teaching career, Professor Gordon has taught more than 10,000 undergraduate students, has published more than 200 peer-reviewed papers describing research with his graduate students, post-doctoral research associates and other research colleagues. He has presented more than 400 research papers at national and international meetings. His research efforts have attracted more than $6 million dollars (well in excess of $18 million in current dollars). He has received numerous awards and honors recognizing his efforts and those done jointly with research colleagues. Dr. Gordon and his students will continue to research, consult and advocate on issues that affect the drinking water industry. In 2009, he was a Senior Founding Partner of Gordon & Rosenblatt, LLC which is an independent firm that is specialized in the science, technology and application of ozone, chlorine dioxide and other oxy-halogen species. He has received awards for his excellent teaching at the graduate and undergraduate level.
His lifetime body of research and the research yet to come has had and will continue to have a major impact on both the teaching of chemistry and on the drinking water industry. He has been married to his wife Joyce since 1957 and at home in Oxford, Ohio, he enjoys wine tasting, evaluation and collecting.
