DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Andrew Chen (University of the Witwatersrand)\nKM3Ne
 T is a multi-purpose neutrino observatory currently being deployed at the 
 bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. It consists of two detectors: ORCA and AR
 CA (for Oscillation and Astroparticle Research with Cosmics in the Abyss).
  ARCA will instrument 1 Gton of seawater\, with the primary goal of detect
 ing cosmic neutrinos with energies between several tens of GeV and PeV. Du
 e to its position in the Northern Hemisphere\, ARCA will provide an optima
 l view of the Southern sky including the Galactic Center. ARCA currently h
 as 8 detection units fully operating out of an eventual planned total of 2
 30. ORCA is a smaller (~ few Mtons) and denser array\, optimized for the d
 etection of atmospheric neutrinos in the 1 - 100 GeV range. It can also st
 udy low-energy neutrino astronomy\, such as MeV-scale core-collapse supern
 ovae. ORCA currently has 10 detection units fully operating out of an even
 tual planned total of 115. I will report on the current status and recent 
 discoveries of ARCA and ORCA as well as a timeline for future developments
