 Neutrinos pervade the cosmos as remnants astrophysical processes. They stream through space barely leaving a trace of their existence, which makes them excellent cosmic messengers but extremely difficult to measure on earth. This presentation will provide an overview of the experiments that have been built in extreme environments to study cosmic neutrinos, and review recent and upcoming experimental results.
