Our concept of the interdisciplinary Center for Astrophysics and Geosciences of Exoplanets (CAGE) is crystallizing. It involves multiple research and educational components: 1. “Geosciences of Exoplanets for Astrophysicists” seminar series. 2. Master of Astrophysics with an exoplanet focus, including courses from the Geosciences Department. 3. Lab experiments with geoscientists to simulate outgassing on exoplanets. 4. “Exoplanets by the Lake” interdisciplinary summer school. 5. Envisioning and influencing future space missions focusing on rocky exoplanets.
