Observations of geo‐neutrinos measure radiogenic heat production within the earth, providing information on the thermal history and dynamic processes of the mantle. Two detectors currently observe geo‐neutrinos from underground locations. Other detection projects in various stages of development include a deep ocean observatory. This paper presents the current status of geo‐neutrino observation and describes the scientific capabilities of the deep ocean observatory, with emphasis on geology and neutrino physics.
