In 2018, the IceCube collaboration reported evidence for the identification
of a blazar as an astrophysical neutrino source. That evidence is briefly
summarised here before focusing on the prospects of tau neutrino physics in
IceCube, both at high energies (astrophysical neutrinos) and at lower energies
(atmospheric neutrino oscillations). In addition, future neutrino detectors
such as KM3NeT and the IceCube Upgrade and their tau neutrino physics potential
are discussed. Finally, the detection mechanism for high-energy (tau) neutrinos
in the Pierre Auger Observatory and the resulting flux upper limits are
presented.
