Deputy Director SNSD, Head of Museum for Mineralogy and Geology, Head of Geochronology and Mineralogy sections

Honorary Professor for Geology and Plate tectonics at TU Dresden

Ulf Linnemann was educated as a geologist at the Mining Academy of Freiberg. He received a doctorate (PhD) and a postdoctoral lecture qualification (Habilitation) in the field of geosciences and works as geochronologist, sedimentologist, and field geologist. Ulf Linnemann was employed as a scientist at the universities of Freiberg, Dresden, and Jena. Today he is division head of the Museum of Mineralogy and Geology and leader of the Geochronology Section. Ulf Linneman´s research focusses on the U-Pb zircon age dating of diverse rocks and on provenance analysis of sedimentary deposits of the supercontinent Gondwana. He teaches as a Professor of Geology and Plate tectonics at the Technical University of Dresden.

Dr Mandy Zieger-Hofmann
Geochronology Lab Manager

Mrs Dr Mandy Zieger-Hofmann finished her studies on Physical Geography and Geology at the TU Dresden in 2007 with her diploma thesis “Geochronologie, Tektonik und junge Hebung im Durchkreuzungsbereich von Westlausitzer Störung und Lausitzer Überschiebung”. After two years as scientific trainee she became a technician in the newly founded geochronology section of the Senckenberg Natural History Collections Dresden in 2009. Mrs Zieger-Hofmann wrote her PhD thesis about “Neoproterozoic glaciations of southern Namibia (Kalahari Craton) – Characteristicts, geotectonic setting, provenance and geochronological correlation”. Today she is the lab manager of the GeoPlasma Lab of the geochronology section of the Senckenberg Naturhal History Collections Dresden. Her main research interests are dating of various minerals using LA-ICP-MS and resulting interpretations concerning geotectonic settings, sediment provenance and geochronological processes.
