A Cherenkov detector called Super-Kamiokande, sensitive to atmospheric neutrinos, provided one of the first evidences for neutrino oscillations in the late 20th century. This technology has proven to be remarkably robust and has been further developed by newer experiments such as IceCube-DeepCore and KM3NeT-ORCA, which have built larger detectors to enter the so-called precision era of neutrino oscillation physics. The primary goal of these experiments is to resolve one of the key open questions in particle physics: the neutrino mass ordering. In this talk, I will present an overview of this field, highlighting the latest results from these experiments and discussing future prospects.
