"Intelligent designer" in tenure fight

http://geology.about.com/b/a/258037.htm

Dr. Guillermo Gonzalez, an assistant professor at Iowa State
University with a high profile in the "intelligent design" (ID)
movement, lost his bid for tenure and has entered an appeal. The
discussion at Scienceblogs
(http://scienceblogs.com/dispatches/2007/05/tenure_and_the_id_persecution.php)
has some plausible ideas about what's really happening-a murky blend
of inadequate grant-winning, lack of grad students, a thin publication
record and the undeniable taint of advocating ID. Many commenters feel
that Gonzalez is a smart astronomy researcher who will find new
employment. Thanks to Richard Monastersky at the Chronicle for Higher
Education for alerting me with his post and background.

As I've pointed out in my dissection of ID leader Michael Behe's
writing, ID is no more than "vigorous assertion based on flawed
premises. Geologists have their own name for this kind of thinking:
arm-waving."

I'm puzzled by something. There are a lot of claims that Gonzales has
published loads of papers in refereed journals. However, when I tried to
find them on the Astrophysics Data System for the years 1994-2006, I got
very few hits on Gonzales, G. except for a lady astronomer with a similar
initial. This data base includes conference papers, arXiv papers, etc.

Does anyone have an actual list? What is the truth? Does anyone have a
genuine list of his papers?

There were loads of papers by other Gonzaleses but I found very little
(practically nothing) by G. Gonzales.

A similar effort on Web of Science (on-line version of the Science Citations
Index) does not turn up much either.
