Description
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory has sensitivity to sterile neutrino oscillations through matter-enhanced oscillation occurring in the few TeV energy range for eV$^{2}$-scale mass-squared splittings. I will present previous measurements of these effects in $\nu_\mu$ disappearance, which has strong sensitivity to the mixing angle $\theta_{24}$ via $\bar{\nu}_\mu\rightarrow\bar{\nu}_s$ transitions. I will also discuss ongoing work towards measuring the sterile neutrino mixing angles $\theta_{14}$, $\theta_{24}$, and $\theta_{34}$ through the previously unexplored $\bar{\nu}_\mu\rightarrow\bar{\nu}_e$ and $\bar{\nu}_\mu\rightarrow\bar{\nu}_\tau$ cascade appearance channels.
