SUMMARY:Probing the Universe with Neutrinos\, High Energy Seminar\, Er
 ik Blaufuss\, University of Maryland
DESCRIPTION:The construction of large neutrino detectors sensitive to 
 high-energy<br>
\nneutrinos has opened a new window on the Universe.  
 These unique<br>
\nmessengers are not affected by magnetic fields or i
 nteractions in dense<br>
\nastrophysical environments and offer the po
 tential to observe deep inside<br>
\nthe most energetic phenomena in t
 he Universe.  The IceCube Neutrino<br>
\nObservatory\, recently comple
 ted deep in the Antarctic ice under the<br>
\ngeographic South Pole\, 
 is sensitive to neutrinos of TeV energies and<br>
\nhigher.  One of th
 e leading candidates for the source of the highest<br>
\nenergy cosmic
  rays are gamma-ray bursts (GRBs).  Models producing the<br>
\nhighest
  energy cosmic rays in GRBs predict neutrino fluxes detectable in<br>

 \nIceCube. In this talk I will summarize the status of the IceCube sea
 rches<br>
\nfor neutrinos from gamma-ray bursts\, and preview future n
 eutrino studies<br>
\nthat are possible in the completed IceCube detec
 tor and in a future<br>
\nmassive detector at a deep underground labor
 atory.<br>
