DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Will Thompson (Harvard University)\, Will Thompson (
 Harvard University)\n\nNeutrino astronomy is the science of finding clever
  ways to turn the natural world into a neutrino telescope. Because astroph
 ysical neutrinos are rare and interact only feebly\, observatories must mo
 nitor gigatons of target material. IceCube achieved this by instrumenting 
 a cubic kilometer of Antarctic ice with more than 5\,000 photosensors\, le
 ading to the discovery of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos. This discov
 ery has raised new questions\, such as the flavor composition of the astro
 physical neutrino flux\, which becomes difficult for IceCube to measure at
  high energies. TAMBO\, a next-generation observatory to be located in the
  Peruvian Andes\, takes a different approach\, using a mountain as its tar
 get. TAMBO will detect tau neutrinos that interact in one wall of a deep v
 alley and produce tau leptons that decay in the valley\, creating air show
 ers measured by a detector array on the opposite slope.In this talk\, I wi
 ll describe IceCube’s design\, its major discoveries\, and the open ques
 tions it has raised. I will then discuss how TAMBO’s approach complement
 s IceCube’s in-ice design\, and present the status of TAMBITO\, the firs
 t stage of TAMBO\, now under construction.\n\nhttps://indico.cern.ch/event
