As Solar Cycle 25 peaks, Parker Solar Probe provides unprecedented access to the sub-Alfvénic solar wind below 10 solar radii. This session focuses on the dynamic evolution and connectivity of the solar maximum corona, moving beyond fundamental plasma physics to investigate how the wind is structured by transient features like CMEs, pseudostreamers, and complex current sheets. These intervals enable studies of reconnection, waves, and turbulence, with particle data and remote‑sensing imagery together revealing how both small‑scale processes and large‑scale structures shape the near‑Sun solar wind.

This session invites contributions that utilize Parker Solar Probe’s recent encounter data with multi-point measurements and/or modeling to link coronal dynamics with the evolving structure of the innermost heliosphere during this highly active phase of the solar cycle.
