The detection and investigation of neutrinos is considered in terms of lunar observation with reference to TeV astronomy, the detection of SSC-type neutrino-beams, and detection based on neutrino acoustic radiation. Reference is made to the limitations of earth-based observations related to neutrinos which result from cosmic rays incident on the atmosphere, and the practical aspects of lunar observations are listed. One square km of lunar surface can be used as a shield for cosmic rays and a target for TeV neutrinos within which emerging muons are observed. An EeV detector based on acoustic detection of the moon's core is also proposed to investigate this energy range. The TeV-detection and acoustical experiments are concluded to be feasible experiments (contingent upon development of the appropriate technologies) which can yield significant results in the field of neutrino physics.
