Abstract
The field of high energy neutrino astrophysics is entering an exciting new phase as two new large-scale observatories prepare to come on line. Both DUMAND (Deep Underwater Muon and Neutrino Detector) and AMANDA (Antarctic Muon and Neutrino Detector) had major deployment efforts in 12/93--1/94. Results were mixed, with both projects making substantial progress, but encountering setbacks that delayed full-scale operation. The achievements, status, and plans (as of 10/94) of these two projects will be discussed.
