He remained there the rest of his career, eventually becoming a Research Professor of Physics and Earth and Planetary Sciences, and retired early in 2015.〔〔 He was a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Geophysical Union and Sigma Xi. He was also a fellow of the American Physical Society, the Meteoritical Society, the Geochemical Society and the European Association of Geochemistry.〔 Zinner had Mantle Cell Lymphoma for the last 19 years of his life. He died on 30 July 2015 at the age of 78.〔 After his death, an "Ernst Zinner Scholarship Fund" was established to support cello students at Webster University.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ernst K.
